Cynthia, I, too, am trying to find info on my father's father,
Frederick Gustav
Mau. He and my grandmother, Mildred, separated about 3 years after they were married in March 1924. He was also born somewhere in the U S; his parents also came here from germany in the early 1900s. Also, you mentioned a Richard Mau--there's a Richard
Mau living one street away from me in
Carmichael,
California! On
Garfield Way. Please keep me posted if you find anything pertaining to Fred
Mau-
b: Nov 1904 d:1987 in Seaside,
Oregon [We've always "known" his middle name to be Gustav, however the last time I asked my grandmother(she's 93!), she rattled off "August"].
My father is Fred Clinton
Mau b:16 Feb 1925 in
Weiser, ID
Perhaps our fathers are cousins? !
