Steven,
ReplyDeleteThis is Bill's son Josh. I'm not sure how interested you are in family history but I have compiled some information on your dad's dad, my great-grandfather Bennett. I wanted to send it to your father before he passed away but failed to do that. I did send it to my grandfather your dad's brother, Bennett, to see what he thought of it but we still weren't able to get too far.
I wouldn't mind sending what I have to you or any of your siblings to see if we can get past our grandfather Bennett Karoly and learn more about how we came to this great country. You can email me at spottedred@gmail.com if you'd like.
Josh
