Thanks for all the information you have sent. I have been able to find a lot of information on Simo, including when and where he was born, marriage, and when he arrived in the US. Have also found him in the census for 1910 and 1930, but not 1920. My father would have been 6 years old, and even putting in his name in the new Ancestry database for that census, cannot locate them. Thanks again!
