Question

His mother Stella lynam was only 16 when he was born they would not tell him who his father was but had heard the man's name was Knox I did find a profile with him just the last name Knox

Comments

Hi Donna , on the profile "Unknown Knoxx" https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Knoxx-1 , you have two xx in the name Knoxx. But the question states last name Knox. Was that a typo?? If so you would want to change the LNAB on that profile please. Hope you find what you are looking for. 

Answer 1

familysearch.org has information but some additional input could make finding what you are looking for easier to discover. Exact birth, marriage and or death year can help in finding the answer you are seeking. Was Millard F. Gabbard's middle name Fillmore? I know you want to get back to Mr. Knox at some point, but more specific information could assist in that direction. The location of births, marriages and deaths such as state, county and city can help researching more.
