I am the youngest son of Norbert Joseph Schmelzer (1910-1966) and Marguerite Beatrice (Atwater)(1911-2000). I'm 61 now - and just beginning at this genealogy thing. Don't have much in the way of documentation as yet - but will help from memory if I can. ---- David Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
