I hope this thread is still active!

William Calos is my great-grandfather and has a daughter named Diamanda (who goes by Catherine) that was born in Ohio. My grandma was born in 1926 and says her mother's name is Lottie Eggbeer and that her mother re-married years later and had two children. Lottie's name is on her birth certificate. When Lottie and William split up, my grandma was given up to a young couple who raised her. She always said that her father was a wealthy business man and gave her away to spite Lottie. But my grandma was also young and might not have understood. I read earlier in this thread that Lottie had another child she left and maybe she did that to my grandma? She is unaware that she had a half brother. My grandma said that years later she saw Lottie at a store with two children and never saw her again. It says they divorced in either 1944 or 1946 (different spellings of Lottie) but my grandma was given up years before. I'm wondering if it just wasn't official because it appears that only a few years after the divorce was finalized William was married again.

If anyone had more information please let me know!
