in Harlan,Ky,moved to Baltimore before he met my mother after returning from the war,way
he choose Maryland to go find work I don't know,by the stories I've heard his
father,Lester James Chance(born in Guthrie,Todd Co.Ky)and his mother Mary Elizabeth
Walker(born in Roddy Tn)separated not lond after he was born,don't think anyone heard
from him again,but I might be wrong,only thing I have to go on is my dads birth
certificate,and one picture of his dad,it seems the man dissappeared off the face of the
map,or he never was,any help that anyone could give me would be great, my dad was born may
1924,his dad would have to had to been born some where around 1901,my grandmother
somewhere around 1905.T hanks Walt
