Hi, sorry I haven't responded sooner but I haven't checked this board in a long while.
I recently got into contact with my aunt that I haven't seen since I was nine (I'm 29 now) anyway, she said she found her Dad's birth certificate, but my Dad said that his grand fathers name is not correct. He said she may have misspelled his name or it was misspelled on the B.C. So here is what she gave me.

I know that my Grandfather had a brother named
Dempsy Gordon Graddy he was married to Juanita
Dempsy has passed on. They had one daughter named Lavine, two sons named Gordon and Noble. Ishmael and Dempsy had a sister named Lola. My aunt doesn't think Lola got married. I was just a couple of months ago sent this information. I hope to connect with Juanita and get more information but not quite sure how to do this because we have never met.
I'm hoping that my Ishmael is your Ishmael. I have noticed that my grandfathers name is spelled different on different documents.Thank you. Shelley
