Mary Ann:
I know of two Rudolph Gonces (from the revolutionary war era and the next generation), but don't know who "Ollie Better Check Gonce" is. What an unusual name - I bet there's a great story there.
Anyway, I have a lot of information on the Gonce family, and am willing to exchange information. Feel free to contact me directly at
foberle@rcn.com if you want.
My connection to the Gonces is that my Mom was a Gonce.
Regards,
Frank
