Question: Looking up family! Need some help!!?
Well it all Starts with William H!. Becker born in December of 1862!. He had a son Edgar W!. Becker who was born Jul 10 1887!. And Edgar and his wife gave birth to my great grandmother!.
I went to my library and i was looking at the street lists and i saw William H!. Becker as soon as 1900 (because thats all they had) and the last time i saw him it was 1939 (there was no 1940 so im not sure if he was alive)
During those years i saw two women that were living with him at different times!.!.!.!.
Mabel E!. Becker who would be born around 1874
Then i didnt see her in the 1924 Street Lists ever again!. She was litsed as a housewife!.
Then another woman Frederica L!. Becker comes in at 1932!. She was also listed as a housewife!.
i need to know who the mother of Edgar is!.!.!.its either Mabel or Frederica i think!.
I am also trying to find out Edgar W!. Becker's wife!. In 1941 Edgar W!. Becker moves back to 39 Grove Street with a woman named Mary H!. Becker who would be born around 1906!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
