He died when my mother was young, so she didn't know or remember much about him. However, the rest of the information that you provided sounds pretty accurate. Dorothy just turned 102 in October. So, depending on the month of the 1930 Census, she would have been about 24 years old. The information for Richard E. O'Brien (my grandpa) sounds correct as well...he was born toward the end of August, 1926. Again, depending on the month of the 1930 census, the age for Richard E. is about right. I have no idea if the ages of Marvin and Gerald are correct. Neither my mother nor my grandmother were able to even provide a birth year for them. The birth order you provided was dead-on. I will try to do some research to double-check before I get my hopes up too much. But, from what you've provided, it sounds like you've got the right people. Thank you so much for your help! This really means a lot to me! Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
