Forgot to say thanks. Someone on another forum where I posted a similar request, has a friend in Germany, who is making an effort to seek out some family. I also went on the net and found the maiden name for the german lady, in the area where she is known to have lived, and I hope it will result in something positive. I mailed letter's to all of the address' found. I just simply hate to file these papers of Vernon's, away or loose it and one day someone comes looking for information about Vernon Milton Branch. I found that Vernon was a child that no one alive now seems to know anything about his life. But he was family.
