Hi,
Irene Spies Spiltoir was the sister of Florance Spies Grindley. My husband is the grandson of Irene Spiltoir. We have a copy of the Spies family tree. I would, however, have to dig it out!! I am willing though! What information would you like - hopefully we can help out a little. My husband did visit with Aunt Flo in Alexandria a couple of times. Flo also traveled to Trumbull, CT, to stay with my husband's family.
Irene Spies Spiltoir spent her life in Washington Heights, NYC, NY; Howard Beach, Long Island, NY; Great Neck, Long Island, NY; and finally in Bridgeport, CT. We believe Irene was born in New York City - not positive.
I hope this helps a little. There may be cousins who would possibly have met and remember Ambrose. There are, however, only three cousins! My husband believes Ambrose may have owned rental property in Washington DC.
Not sure why Irene is listed as Ambrose's contact, could be Flo was with Irene and her husband in New York while Ambrose was away!? Also, it is believed that Ambrose and Flo gave birth to a still born child. Do not know what year. To our knowledge there were no other births.
