Newbie asking questions
I've never done genealogy but figured I'd start looking for information about my much adored (now deceased) grandfather, George William Michell.
He was born on March 10, 1899, and was from the Ft. Wayne, Indiana area. He served in the Great White Fleet and World War I. Later he helped run the railroads in Russia as a civillian railroad engineer. He retired from the Nickel Plate and moved to Phoenix. He died on May 4, 1974. During his life, he probably married twice but my grandmother, his second wife, was Fern Helen of Ft. Wayne. Her father was a police officer for Ft. Wayne and died from appendicitis after chasing a suspect.
They had one child, Shirley, who is my mother.
Thank you for your help,
Mary
