hello cousin! - have been trying for some time to locate some info on my dad's family - his name was Sanford Winters Mosher - apparently your grandmother's brother. My mother, Doris Beckwith, married Sanford, in Syracuse, in the early l940's i believe, and Sanford's family was operating a funeral parlour business. Sanford, by all accounts, was a 'black sheep' of the family, and my mother soon was left to support us 3 children on her own, as he could not hold down a job - in fact, i gather he bankrupted the business from problems with his drinking, but when he would have employment in the following years, it would be as a carpenter (supposedly he was a very fine carpenter) would be interested in any family info you have - on grandparents and aunts and uncles, etc. My brother Stuart's middle name is LaGrande - now we know where this name comes from. i see that this message site is a few years old - hope you still have the same email - i will try you there, as well - thanks - Norman Mosher - my email is [email protected]
