I am having a VERY hard time tracing anything as far back as my grandfather. His name was Everett Charles Trubee born March 17, 1927 and Deceased June of 1983. His father was Everett J. Trubee dob= 5/2/1898 unsure of deceased date. He was born in Zimmerman Ohio. he came back from WWI on may 7, 1918 on the New York, to Ellis Island and was in the Navy.
I know my grandfather Everett Charles, had a 1st wife with a few children that he supposedly left after coming back from WWII and finding her cheating.
I also heard a rumor that when his pension came through to my grandmother after he passed away, they said that his original birth certificate did not say "trubee" She forgets the wife and kids name as well as the supposed other name. I cannot afford anything except a free membership so any and all info would be appreciative
they are both from the dayton ohio area (?) and my great grandfather had the nickname "pops" I think one of the sons that my grandfather left may have been named richard? thanks again,
Wendy Trubee Howell
