As I said my grandfather on my mothers side is a mystery. I only have one photo of him in his uniform. I have his death certificate which gives his birthdate as Dec 16, 1888. No record of any siblings, just his mother and fathers names. I would think a drowning in the Mississippi would warrant some kind of record, but I have looked and looked and nothing. None of my mothers family are living as she and I were both only children. Thanks for any info you can provide. Joan Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
