Message Board Post:
I am looking for my grandfathers real father. His mother was Mae Earline (nee Frazier)
Ribbe 08 May 1920. She was paid a substantial amount of money to keep his biological
fathers name quiet. I desperately want to find my grandfathers dad before he moves on.
The only information I have is that the biological father was a very influential member of
a mafia. Mae told my mother in 1990 that it was imperative all information about him be
kept secret to keep the entire family safe. She said he was a dangerous man. Then she
mentioned that she had heard of his death about three years prior to my mother contacting
her.
It doesn't make sense because I can't find much information about a mafia presence
in southwestern Indiana.
Mae had my grandfather and likely his brother by this man. Her other 3 children all look
like their father, her husband.
Does anyone know anything about Mae's relationships or any mafia movement in or around
Terre Haute?
I hope someone here can help, despite my lack of information.
