Am looking for Charles L (believe Lawton) Morris born 1886 to Thomas F Morris (1857) & Kate Belle Ferry (1858)(both born New York).

I have Charles on the 1892 New York State census with parents & siblings, on the 1900 census with mother & siblings (father died 1898) and on the 1910 census with Uncle and Aunt William E Barr & Eva C Barr but nothing after that.  On that census he was employed as an electrician.

I have the information on his siblings.  His father was Thomas Francis Morris who was the US government's Chief of the Bureau of Engraving, for the American Bank Note Company.

Looking for Edward Douglas Foote son of Charles Foote & Gertrude Threedy.  I have Edward on the 1920 & 1930 census with his parents and sister Elsie in Illinois.  There is a probable marriage 1939 Cook County Illinois to a ^(*) but don't have the supporting information to confirm it.  Have no other confirmations of his whereabouts or any family after that.

He was in Los Angeles sometime between 1940 & 1960 but don't know if he had moved there or was just visiting.  On the 1930 census he was a maintenance man (can't make out where?) and there is a rumour that he did work for one of the big airline companies.

Have just recieved a copy of a letter from 1942 (written by an 85 year old lady in the USA) and there are a few words I am having difficulty with.  What I have so far is:

Dear grandchildren & little Deanna
Just a few lines hope this finds all of you well.  We are not feeling so good.  Della & George Davis  ----  ----  ----  ----  ----  ---- ---- ---- ----.  They were sick but dont know how they are now.  We cant write very often cause our hands are so

Any help appreciated

Trying to find out information about a Dunbar family living in Altanta Georgia between 1911 and 1983:

            Father: Jesse H Dunbar, born 1883 North Carolina, died 1940 Altanta
            Mother: Pearl M Dunbar, born 1891, Missouri, died 1983 Atlanta
            Son:     Jesse E  Dunbar, born 1911, Georgia, died 1972, Atlanta
        Daughter: Norma M Dunbar,born 1918, Georgia, died 1983 Atlanta

I am trying to establish if Pearl M Dunbar was born Pearl M Ellis (the name, birth date and state are correct for Pearl Ellis).

I have the basis information about death dates from the SSDI and from the Georgia death information database on ancestry but neither detail Pearls maiden name information.

I don't know where Pearl & Jesse married but I do have the 1920, 1930 & 1940 census information along with the death information.

I live in the UK and obtaining either SSI information or death certificates is a lenghty (and with certificates expensive) exercise.

So I decided to seek out the Rootschat family first to see if there is any local information on obituaries, etc., before applying for certificates.
