Hi Ruth,
I haven't checked this website in a while, so I just saw your post. You and I are first cousins once removed! I'm the granddaughter of your father's brother, Ralph. After your dad moved from Long Island, New York to Florida, the rest of the family (many of whom also moved) lost touch with him.
I was born in New York; but, I live in California now. We still have many relatives remaining in New York, New Jersey, and elsewhere. I have lots of old family pictures and stories I'd be happy to share with you. I'll email you too, in case you don't check this website often.
Very best wishes,
Susana
