I'm looking for my father's biological family. He was born Richard Foss in Omaha Nebraska in January 1915. He may not show up in anyone's family tree. His father's name was supposedly JON Foss and his mother's name is unknown. The Foss' could be from anywhere, I have very little info on them. Please see my web page for pictures and details. Thanks for any help. http://www.hometown.aol.com/janth76724/index.html

The 1920 census has one John Foss, age48 born Germany,immigrated 1889 single,naturalized 1893 or 93 a servant in the ?? Memorial St. Josephs hospital in Omaha.
He did not show up on the 1930 census. Not much help i am afraid.

I have some new information on my father's biological family. My father's given name was Riley Foss, born January 10, 1915 in Omaha, Nebraska. His father was John Foss born abt 1887, who had at least 3 brothers, Teddy, Walter and Melvin and also two sisters, names unknown. There is also a James mentioned who was 18 years old in 1915. I don't know who the parents of these boys are. I am told John Foss was born in Austria.

John Foss born abt 1887, married Julia Galouski born abt 1888(spelling of the last name might not be correct). Julia had a sister named Mary and a brother named George. They were all born in Austria.

John and Julia also had a daughter named Olga Foss born March 23 or 25, 1914 in Saint Paul, MN, so I am told. She was probably also given up for adoption. I have no leads on her.

The web site I had up on my father is no longer working. When I get it up and running again, I will let everyone know of the new web site address.

Thanks for any help on all of this.
