Hello,
My brother Steven and I are in our mid thirties. Our father Eric Vath, 65 yrs. old, is the son of Charles Vath who I believe was born in 1898. He lived in NYC and from what I understand was somewhat estranged from his siblings. All I know is that one or both of his parents died young and he quit school, I think in the 8th grade, to work. He married my grandmother Helen Margaret Lackman and moved to Daytona Beach Florida. He passed away about eight years ago. My brother and I don't even know where our name comes from. Is it German? He is getting married this year, and I would love to present him with a family history as a present. Can anyone help?
