Have you tried the Social Security death index? If he has died you can get
a copy of his original application that would give date and place of birth
and parents names in addition to his address and employer in 1936 (when most
people his age applied for membership, the start of it all!). Then white
pages might give you some leads in both his mother's and father's families
..... and you'd have some info to ask, "Is this the one who lived
at......who worked for ... was born on......" instead of "is this the one
who sired the child" .... because I doubt anyone of his relatives alive
today would know about that in Pittsburgh.

Subject: [CALLAHAN-L] Oops! That's Charles D.(?) Callahan [sorry!]
Looking for info on Charles (possibly "D.") Callahan who
died in
Pittsburgh,
PA, in the late 1980's or early 1990's. He may have been a
retired Air
Force sergeant.
Charles had an illegitimate son in Glenville, Gilmer County, WV, in 1932,
with one Azalea Woodyard, daughter of Lorenzo and Totsy Hurley (Hite)
Woodyard.
My child, 8-year old Emily, a Type I diabetic, is this Charles Callahan's
great-grandaughter.
I am interested in contacting descendants or others knowledgeable about
this
Callahan line, both for information/pictures regarding Charles and
his
ancestors and to ascertain whether diabetes "runs" in this Callahan line,
as
the disease is virtually unheard of in any of our other family
lines,
including the Woodyard line.
I am particularly interested in photos of Charles and any of his
ancestors,
as I am lucky enough to have been able to have collected photos of
more
than
sixty of Emily's ancestors to date. I have no photos of Charles
or any of
his progenitors.
Thanks to anyone on the list who may have info on Charles Callahan or his
ancestry. -- Jim Huffman, somewhere in Mississippi
