I am looking for info on Dorothy and her family. My father, Robert C Langabeer is her first cousin. Her parents were Sheldon and Melvina Murdock who lived on Martindale in Detroit, Michigan. My Dad's mother, Lillie Murdock Langabeer was Sheldon's sister. My Dad lived with Sheldon to take care of his ailing Grandmother about 1938 or so when he was 15.
I have some old photos of Dorothy with Sandy aged 2 years old taken in Hillsdale on Howell St. They were probably "sent" to my Dad. Now that I have connected the photos to the right family not sure if this sandy passed away due to the next bit of info below.
I also have a Christmas card sent in 1978 to my Dad from Dot and RB Seybolt. She mentions 3 grandchildren Roger Jr (15), Robin (13) and Eric (7). She mentions her son Roger, assuming father of above children, working at a Coldwater factory making harnesses for cars and vans. She spoke of "mother" living next door.
I now know that the "mother" she spoke of was Melvina Murdock and with notes my Dad left on the Christmas Card wrote in later under the line about the "mother" that she died on Dec 19. 1994.
I would love to get in contact with any of the above family. I now have quite a bit of family history, especially on the Murdocks of Benton Harbor.
I am also getting different spelling for this name...Seybold, Seybolt or is it Seyboldt?
