Looking for info on a George DeForest born around 1869, most likely in New York City.

We know for sure that he had a son bearing the same name in 1912 -- my grandfather -- because there is a birth certificate for him, and we know that the senior George died in 1926 because there is a death certificate.

He married twice, the first (undocumented) marriage was to Anna Higgins or Anna Frazier, and the second (confirmed) marriage was to Bertha Kalles.

That first marriage is likely my great-grandmother, so I am also desperate for more information on her.

We can't locate George Senior's birth certificate, so we have no way of definitively tracing our genealogy past my grandfather.
