To Steven Cliff,
I have seen your messages on the boards - surname cliff. Date: 25 April 2000
I am the Danish wife of Charles Eugene Cliff, have two children, and is working on the genealogy of my husbands American family - to give my children some clues about their American background.
I see that your father is Earl Cliff, born 1933 in Chicago. And his father was Alvin Cliff with a brother Charles.
I wonder if it's the sons of Agnes and Alvin Cliff. The Alvin I am talking about was the son of Horatio and Eliza (Minthorn) Cliff. Eliza came from Mariposa (near Yonge Street) in Ontario, Canada. Born 1849. Horatio was either born in Ohio or in Canada around 1854.
Alvins brother Charles Edvard Cliff was my husbands grandfather. He lived in Hobart Indiana, but died 1956 in Jacksonville, Florida.
We do have some pictures of both Alvin and Agnes and the rest of the Cliff family.
If it happens to bee the same people we are looking for I will be glad to send you copies of some pictures by e-mail..
I found Agnes Cliff in the 1930 US census, ages 42. She lived in Cook Co, Chicago, where others of the Cliff family lived at that time. Agnes lived with her two sons Alvin age 18 and
Charles, age 16. She is a widow. Her Husband, Alvin Cliff, died at a young age of TB.
I am also looking for Donald Cliff, son of Verne and Gladys Cliff. Donald was born 1922-23. In 1930 US census hi lived with his parents in Hammand, Lake Co. Indiana ( also close to Chicago.

I happened upon your entry, and found it rather interesting that I had the surname Akers and that those around me adress me as Cliff, rather than my full name Jon Clifton.
