My father's father came to the States as a very young man via Canada from Bury, Lancashire,in 1910, before my father was born never went back.
He divorced my grandmother, Mary, in 1917 from his home in Detroit Mich., married Jennie.
He died around Xmas, 1934.
He was a part owner/founder of "Mich-i-Penn oil Company" and sales manager.
I have his obit from a Detroit newspaper someone photographed his burial place for me but we know nothing of his arrival how he came to be able to own an oil company which still existed in the 70s....
How can I research the history of the Company?
How can I find any of his relatives (sibs) that he left in England?
My father at 90 now regrets not looking into it. We know nothing of our family as my grandmother, Mary, died in England in '49.
