Good to know. Inform him of all I've/we've mentioned in here and maybe he has some papers and such tucked away somewhere or a sibling does, that he and/or you can start rooting through.

Seems like finding a birthdate very important as a first step almost ...

I've found no obituary, else his birthdate might have been mentioned as well, as they usually are in obituaries.

I'll do what I can. So you know, I DO draw the line at approaching any living relatives this side of the world fro you and your dad. Anything I can find "public record" if I find out anything, I'll pass on to you and your Dad.

Oh ... you're welcome
