Hello everyone, I hope this is an appropriate post here. I am looking for information about Merlin A. Forbes. All I know about him is that he died in December of 1918 and that he is the son of Frank Forbes and Elvie Krause.. I'm not sure of his birth date. I'm not even sure about where he is buried, although I would suspect the same place as his dad. His dad is buried in Oak HIll Cemetery. Would anyone be able to see if they could find an obituary or such for Merlin? I suspect that one would be available at the Hartford History Room in Hartford but that is just a suspicion. I have found someone who has a listing of a lot of Forbes materials I would like but I can't afford to pay $15.00 a piece for them! However, it gives me hope that someone might be willing to look this up for me if they were able to. Any information could be sent via email or if a hard copy is required I could reimburse. I just like to know what I am paying for. I have been burned before when someone charged me for something just to see that it was a one-line statement saying someone died. Please let me know if you could help! Thanks, Ken Spangler Forbes / Stevenson Genealogy Researcher Webmaster http://www.forbes-stevenson.com
