Hi List Folks,
My CHARLES line originated in South Wales (UK).George & sister Clara
emigrated to US early 1900's . He settled in Jersey City, NJ & m
Elizabeth Nickerson. Eliz. had sister Catherine m Walter VON KREBS.They
lived in
New Brunswick, NJ during 1930's.
George & Eliz, found in 1920 NYC Census with 3 sons Edwin, Frederick,
Irving. Irving m Frieda (?). Frederick remained single. Edwin m
Catherine Kirby Bronx NY 1929.
Clara never married. She was a nurse/companion for many years. Lived out
her old age in the
Methodist Episcopal Home in NYC. Died in early 1940's. I have been
facing this brick wall for many years. Edwin was my father.
I believe that George had possibly a brother in Canada. During WW II, a
cousin visited us in NYC. He was in the RCAF. Name Bill Charles. I'm
looking for Welsh & Canadian connections; any connections!
Please, if anyone has any knowledge of this family, I would love to
hear from you.

Hi,
I am researching the CHARLES families in Estill, Powell, Lee, Wolfe and
maybe Montgomery counties, KY. I am also researching Middletown, OH.
Thanks

We actually do have new people joining us everyday, and I can understand
that the individuals who have already posted what they are reseraching are
tired of doing so. I would however like to ask that the individuals who
have joined in the last two months post to the board the areas that they are
seraching. I for one have found information in many unusual places
including the statement in one document "I think he had only one half
brother and several full sisters." This particular clue gave me the idea to
start to look for a second marriage and from there I was able to get one
more generation back on one of the families I am reseraching. This
particular one married into the Charles line. Thanks
