As you can see I've been able to find a few things out about the family....but can't go forward or backward. I really need to know if Joseph had any brothers or sisters and what his parents names were and where they were from. No information was handed down in the family as (Charles Frank md.Rosalia
Katherina Noller ) died when my grandmother Carrie Clara Frank was 16 years old and her mother died when she was 11 years old. ~Gayla
