From: Beverly BEGIN Date: Thu, 14 Jun 2001 10:25:28 -0500 My great grandfather: Frank Edward Lake b- Feb 27, 1881 Waterloo, Iowa d- Jan 19, 1968 Wendell, Idaho Date: Thu, 12 Jul 2001 10:42:30 -0500 I have been trying to find info (or rather who his parents were) on my great grandfather: Frank Edward Lake b-Feb 27, 1881 Waterloo, Iowa. This info was provided by family members and also verified in his obit. I had sent for a record of birth..but no record was found..I had also sent for social security records...Which I just got today..Here are the results: *Frank Edwards Lake....Note the s on Edward, which of course could just be a spelling error. *Date of birth is correct *Place of birth..city unknown....state Nebraska *Father's name: Frank Lake *Mother's name: Nellie Taft Note he never applied for a social security number until he was age 63. Date: Thu, 13 Sep 2001 12:09:17 -0500 I have been having alot of difficulties finding any info on the parents of Frank Edward Lake b-Feb 27, 1881 (obit lists Waterloo, Iowa as place of birth...but SS-5 lists Nebraska) d-Jan 19, 1968 Wendell, Idaho. SS-5 lists as Frank Lake (father) Nellie Taft (mother)...Well I have found two different references to Frank and Nellie...One is by Dick Dutton...who is deceased now and the other is by TJ (Thomas) White...I really feel that both of their genealogy listing to be in error, so this causes alot of problems searching. I have checked census records...but it is like looking for a needle in a haystack with out exact locations or even a specific state to search in.
