Doris Berrie is my great-grandmother. The daughter of Blanche (Long) and Lawrence Berrie, she was one of three girls; her sisters were Gladys and Marvel. Blanche's parents were Edward and Wilhelmina (Vilind) Long, who at one point had their granddaughters residing with them. Lawrence Berrie is the most confusing member of this post; some sources say he is from Ohio while others claim he is from Alsace-Lorraine and had gone AWOL from the military which is where his Ohio records gain ground. It seems his father, Lawrence senior, died in Ohio while it is unclear where/when his mother Otilida Ehrmann passed. Whatever the truth may be, it does not seem that he and Blanche were together long after the last of their girls was born as she would go on to marry Charles Lembke and give the girls his surname to use. Blanche died in 1948.
Doris would go on to marry Thomas Foley and saw the birth of her only daughter, Patricia, her wedding to Thomas Brandon, the birth of their three sons, and eventually the birth of her first great-grandchild before passing in 1985.
Any information regarding Doris or her family would be appreciated!
