From what I know about my father, he didn't ever know his father nor anything about him. His mother when asked, said, "it's my personal business" and that was it. As she was extremely hurt by having married a bigamist. His mother removed to San Diego, California with my father shortly after his birth. Her sister Mabel was already there, so it was a logical step to get away from her memories.
My father dropped out of school at 15, I think it was. He was sent to a boarding school (Wyoming?) and didn't get on well with his step-father. He lied about his age and having a driving license to get a job as a truck driver which he did until his retirement.
My brother and I also didn't grow up with our father as our parents separated before I was five years old. My father married numerous times.
My mother recollects there is also an older son with a model in New York. His mother was institutionalised and the child was taken by some other relatives and removed to someplace else unknown. They adopted him and his name changed.
He died of, approximately one month after diagnosis.
The "e" in our surname appeared sometime after the move from Pensacola, Florida to San Diego, California.
