Hi Sandy,
Sorry you are in the same boat. I am still pondering how one can completely dismiss his
kids. However, I have a feeling the second family, if there was one knows nothing about
the first family. My search is about finding a new family, and forgiving the past.
Lot's of clues but also lot's of dead ends.
Thanks for the encouragement, I hope you have better luck than me. I can't seem to
find birth records from my uncle or father, in NYC. My grandfather Marcus would have been
on the birth certificate, I believe. I know where the lived, in a boarding house in the
lower eastside of manhattan. I can't find a divorce record, and my grandmother did
remarry so there has to be a record somewhere. I guess back then, in the thirties record
keeping in NYC or any big city was, well questionable. If you can share some tips on
searching that would be terrific! I am knew at this and kind of winging it! Good luck to
you, I hope we both find what we are looking for! Keep me posted and I would love to
share!
Lesley
