I am a novice at this and just looking for my mother's
relatives.
My great grandfather was Fred Goess born 1878 and died around 1959. He was an iron worker and he was self employed, married to Mary Pryor, from Ireland in approx 1901 and they moved from Brooklyn to Staten Island .They had two sons. Fred and Dan.
Fred married my mothers mother, also Mary and they had 4 daughters in New Jersey. Gloria, Dorothy Maryann and Helen,
My mom is the last surviving, Dorothy born in 1928.
Dan never married, stayed in Staten Island and is buried there along with my ggrandparents@Oceanside Cemetery in Staten Island.
I think we are the same family and that photo of Fred looks like him. He did have a sister Barbara & a brother Otto for sure, but don't know thee other names.
