Position:Home>Genealogy> Robert J Langan?


Question:I had asked for information on Langan's Norwest Lanes & Pizza Parlor. I should have included more information but I have been a bit distraught. Originally I had ask for information on Joseph Duarte, but in the coarse of searching I found out that he was not actually my father - big suprise to me.

Without going into all the details I found out that Robert J Langan was my father. He was the owner of a bowling alley called "Langan's Norwest Lanes & Pizza Parlor.

What I know is that Gayle and Robert was dating, they never married. Robert and Gayle was together in 1966 to 1967 at least. At that time Robert was living in Southfield Michigan.

I see in a court case that blood tests where ordered. The tests where suppose to be done at Pontiac General Hospital by William R. Dito, M.D. and or Paul Flannagan, M.D..

Supposedly Robert Langan legally disowned me - so says Gayle(her word can be questionable).

In the 1930 census there is the following:

Robert Langan
Home in 1930: Muskegon Heights, Muskegon, Michigan
Age: 3
Estimated Birth Year: abt 1926
Relation to Head of House: Son
Father's Name: John
Mother's Name: Bessie

Others in Household:
John Langan 36
Bessie Langan 34
Pearl Anderson 17 [my note - she was step-daughter to John, probably Bessie's child from a previous marriage]
Robert Langan 3 9/12

It appears that Robert J. Langan (this census entry matches up with public record searches that correspond to a Robert J. Langan) is still living, thus I can't post information about him. Suffice it to say, he apparently didn't move very far from home though if that helps.

Bowling alley still exists and is at...

Langan's Norwest Lanes
