Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
Sub 57 years from November 1936

that gives you November 1879

Sub 10 months from Nov that gives you Jan

Sub 15 days from Jan 8 (remember Dec has 31 days) that gives you 12/25/79

please check my math

And Billy that is what I told you earlier today!. Quit going to Yahoo Answers trying to prove me wrong!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Using Ted's and building on it!.!.
if he was in the US, then you should also be able to find him in census records 1880-1930!. 1900 or 1910 also is supposed to include month and year of birth!.
He should also have death certificate where he died!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
