Hi,
I'm looking for any information on a relative of mine who moved to the US and married.
His name is William H Dent, born 19th Jan 1888, died 21 Oct 1961
He married Grace Noreen Vagts born 20th Aug 1893 in Catawba Island, Ohio.
It is believed they had 7 children, one of which I think was Harold Maurice Dent.
I know that Grace's parents are Gerd Garret Vagts and Ellen M Thayer
I would very much appreciate any information you might have on the above.
I am not sure when William H Dent moved to the US.
Many thanks
Mike

Wow!
That's great information, many thanks for that.
Is it possible to find any information on their children, ie DOB's?
I'm wondering how many descendants are alive, or grand children of William H Dent.
Thank you for this.
Mike
