I'm looking for information on the parents of William Edward Jones b Gallatin County 8 Apr 1945, d Newport, Campbell County, Kentucky 28 Jan 2002. I did find a Kentucky birth record of William Edward Jones which listed his mother as Beatrice Adams. Can anyone provide me with the name of Buddy's father's first name? The family moved to Northern Kentucky sometime before 1967 and lived in Kenton County. Buddy was in the Army at this time and then left for Germany.

ANY help would be greatly appreciated. With a surname like Jones I'm really stuck.

Thanks much in advance.

I wonder if you could send for his SS info - I think it costs abt $ 27.00. I found a Judy Jones, who looks like she might be a sister, but no death info on her. I found an obituary for your William (aka Buddy) but no help there. Or you could order his death certificate, but probably the SS application which he would have filled out would be the better bet, as the census records that he would show up on are decades away.
Sorry that I couldn't help.

Actually that IS a help. It's been a while since I ordered a SS form (I forget what's it's called) so I had forgotten all about it. Thanks so much for checking!

I'm sure you have already seen this, but just in case:

Thanks much to both of you for your suggestions. I did order William's death certificate which gave his father's name. I found the father (deceased) who died in 1967 at the Veterans Hospital in Louisville. This later fit with family info.

Again, thanks! I'm getting ready to do another query but will start a new thread for that. lol
