Hi Cindy, Thanks for responding. It's such an unusual name that I thought perhaps there was a family connection! Sheila At 11:22 PM 3/16/00 , you wrote: Sheila, Elwin Franklin Young is my father. He was born in Michigan on Nov. 19,1923. My parents divorced when I was 2 years old. He lived in Milwaukee, Wis. for many years. I don't know if he is still alive or not. I have now idea about his family. Sorry this isn't much help. Cindy in Florida On March 16 you wrote: My Dad's name was Elwin Kemp Young. This is such a coincidence. Do you have any idea where the "Elwin" came from? I've tried to find the history of that to determine if he was named for another Elwin Young or an Elwin Kemp (or neither!). He was born in 1909 in Massachusetts. Sheila
