Thanks Helen,
I'm sure a lot has been forgotten or misinterpreted. During WW2 my grandfather (Robert Edmund Potts) was conscripted by the British Army (despite being a US citizen). This caused my father to be put into a British orphanage.As a result of this my family really fell apart. We have very little information on our time in the US. Much of what I wrote was provided anecdotally by my Uncle, my grandfather died in the mid 1960's leaving a big gap in our knowledge.
