Ambrose I believe is my great grandfather Garret brother, looking on more about him. abt:1870, death:1954. Maybe someone has more info about him and his family. That could help me find more about my great grandfather. maybe even picture..

So people can see what was found previously on Garret, see this thread:  http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/topic,594356.msg4446871.html#msg4446871 

Garret's WWI draft registration card indicates that Ambrose was living at Grayling.
