Hi Ed,
Gertrude is my grandmother. Forrest and James (aka: Brownie) were her brothers. Though I found it interesting you found papers stating their last name was Echard. According to my grandmother (and her marriage license) her maiden name was spelled Eckard (like the drug store, only with an "a" instead of an "e"). My grandfather, Stanley, was a laborer building the Conowingo Dam at that time.Unfortunately, I only know one of my grandfather's relatives - his brother Mike McCardell who, I believe, is still living.
My grandmother is 90 now and her memory isn't very good anymore, but whenever I get the chance, I try to find out about our family tree. Unfortunately, my grandfather passed away in the 1960's before my parents ever met so I never got the chance to know him.
If I find out more information, I'll post it up here.
Thanks,
Holly Anne
