Patty -

How can you spend time on Rootschat when you still have several chapters to write / finish?

A really wonderful piece of research!  Even with the gaps it is a wonderful story.

Have you ever found any of Bert's children?

Give her a break ... she needs at least ten minutes a day to get on here and have a laugh and chat to her friends ... or at least five mins.

I enjoyed reading the expanded story.  Wow, what a page-turner!

Yes, we traced Bert's children to Nebraska and on to California.  Both sons are obviously now gone.

But we have found some Quinns we very definitely believe are his grandchildren.  And they are still living in the same area as his children were, in California.

We are trying our BEST to establish contact with them - so far, no luck.

Which is a huge disappointment - out of a family of 12 children, many did not marry, or married and had no children.  And for a couple of them, the children died before marrying, or never had children themselves.

So, out of 12 children total, 5 had kids.  And as of today, the total located (not counting Bert's) is 8 - me, my sister and brother, and 5 grandchildren of one more - of which I am in direct contact with 2, and indirect with the other 3.

They are all very elderly, so finding that Bert had grandchildren is very precious.  Now, if we can only get them to contact us back!
