I've been working on this for about twenty years off and on, probably more off than on. Currently in the process of organizing all the materials I have collected to date. I am now retired and can devote more time to my project
Discovered some interesting bits and pieces including the fact that my father WAS born in Chicago. He thought maybe/maybe not. The family moved from Indiana to St Louis, Missouri and then to Chicago.

I welcome contact from family members and others who may have additional information about our extended family and am willing to share what I have discovered in my searches.
