It was interesting to read of your Close going to Kansas because that is where my father, Glen Close, was born and also his siblings. Only thing is Close wasn't the original spelling for our Close line---it was KLOSS---and the family originally migrated from Germany in the 1700s. Leonard Melchior was the father and had a son, Ernst. Both father and son and maybe a grandson had fought in the American Revolutionary War. I often wondered why I found so many Closes in Kansas that didn't match mine. PLEASE, if you come across any Close with German background, send them my way, and I'll do likewise.

Have reached a brick wall - stuck at Kate Lavinia CLOSE, b.1894 Penge (Surrey/Kent). Found her birth and the birth of her child but she disappears after 1926 (electoral roll). No relevant marriage or death that I can find. I've tried a few possible mis-spellings on the register and still no luck. Does anyone have any ideas, or even have her in their own tree? Many thanks.
