Oh my gosh! Thank you! This gives me so many of the missing pieces I have been searching
for! I had just found out that John F. had come to this country with his mother - had
known they lived in Baltimore where she died - but was unable to search passenger lists
because I was unsure if they had actually landed in Baltimore! Thank you so very very
very much!!!!!!!
Since my grandfather, Fred, died when my father was just a baby -- and then my grandmother
eventually moved away from Daviess County -- we just lost all touch with any part of the
Franklin family long before I was born. I have some newspaper clippings and photos, which
I put on my website - but my grandmother never met her father-in-law, Joseph D. (there is
a story there - he and Martha were divorced....)
Thank you again! I am in Florida - so can't go to any of the courthouses in
Washington, IN to search for documents. I plan to go back there someday with my dad --
don't know when.
You have made my day - no -- my week!
I will be sure to give you credit on my website - I will get this great info in there
tonight.
