Ralph and Jackie had two children. Their first was named James Leon Casad, born Feb. 12th 1949 at Minidoka Dam near Rupert, Idaho. Their second child was named Catherine Casad, born Oct 10th 1951.
My name is James Leon Casad and Thomas Casad of Dayton, OH was my great grandfather.
This is all that I was ever told of my ancestory. The births, locations, and dates match the dates that "someone??" wrote into an old hand-me-down family bible. I also know that Elmer had a sibling. A brother - we do not know his name -- YET.
