Greetings,
If you're reading this, it probably means you share the family name. I am Geri, the son of Leroy who was an attorney in Chicago. He was born in Texas and had a brother named Gilman (his namesake, my brother, lives in Portland), and a sister Bernice, who still lives in Chicago.
I have a distant relative named Murphy Vital (Texas) who has done a family history for several generations. If you're interested, drop him a line and introduce yourself.
Carpe Diem!
