Question:

Where can I find info about a grandfather who abandoned his family in 1939?

He lived in Rochester, Indiana in 1937 where he married Kathryne Auer on July 31. His name was Paul Thomas Bradford. His brother was Lewis. Paul was living in Chicago in 1947 according to Lewis' obituary. He left the family after his daughter's first birthday. He never knew he had three grandchildren by this daughter. I would like to locate other descendants of Paul's. They would be my aunts, uncles, and cousins.


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: Check Obits for the Chicago area, and in case he's still alive - the phone listings. I have also used....

If you click on one of those links that want to charge a fee they give you names and addresses as samples. I found my husbands brother that way, they were separated fo over 60 yrs! Good luck!
