FRED and EDITH RIVERS
I have been trying to find some geneological information on my husband's
family whom he grew up without. His father's name is John L. Rivers. I have
very little information about him except that he was born sometime around
1945 in New York. John's father's name is Fred and Fred grew up in an
orphanage, location unknown. I believe that Fred's mother's name was Susie
and that John had at least two siblings, brothers Tommy and Larry. It is
possible that John divorced my husband's mother around 1971 or 72 maybe in
New York. My husband was born in New Jersey in 1966.
Many people are angry at my search for this information, but it simply for
geneological, not emotional reasons. I do not mean to hurt anyone's feelings
or bring any bad memories to anyone. It is very difficult, though, to do a
proper geneological tree without the first key link. Thank you for your help
and may 2004 be the year that you find what you are looking for. Thanks again.
