I currently live in California but spent the fir st 10 years of my life in Appleton, Wis. A name in your database is John G errits b. Sept. 17, 1897 & d. May 14, 1961. He is my namesake and matern al grandfather. His marriage to Grace Cummings was in 1926. My mother w as about 5 years old when Grace died. You have his second marriage to Lync h. This should be Winifred. I always considered her my Grandma.
