Hi,
Looking for information regarding my grandfather and further back. His name was William Makepeace Thackeray and died in 1947 around Detroit. He was married to Bertha Morris in Indiana and moved to the Detroit, Michigan area probably in the 1920s. They had 12 children so I have lots of recent information. I always heard he was related to the English writer but now realize that probably isn't true. The social security death index spelled the name Thackery not Thackeray as we always assumed. Any help appreciated.
