My father was born in 1916 in Morenci, Arizona where a big copper mine still is that I visited with him and my mother around 1956 on our way back to the Los Angeles County area from Santa Fe, New Mexico.
Then I also know he lived in Breckenridge, Texas and that my grandmother was from Texas too.
Then I also know they lived in Coos Bay, Oregon as well.
My grandfather was an Electrical Contractor so did electrical Contracts all over the Western United States from Texas to Arizona to Oregon to Washington in the Seattle Area by 1927 when he bought his 2 1/2 acres there and kept it until he passed away. My grandfather also had a gold mining claim in Elk City, Idaho of around 1200 Acres too until he passed away in 1970 from driving his panel truck off a cliff into a river when his wheel bearing froze up on a dirt road. He was born in the late 1870s or early 1880s in Kansas and was a pitcher on a baseball team there when he was young likely in the first decade of the 20th century.
My father was Valedictorian of his high school Class in 1934 in Seattle, Washington area.
My Great Grandfather lived in Kansas on a farm there and was born in the 1840s and was a Captain in the Civil war for the Northern Army (the Bluecoats).
