Christine,
I was glad to see your reply.I'm Charles' daughter and Bette is my aunt.I'm assuming that Lisa's father is Jimmy Connelly, my Dad's cousin who used to live in Stratford of Somerdale, NJ.
In the 1910 Census records for Philadelphia, I found a listing for August Bahm who had a wife named Mathilda, a son named August Jr. and an adopted son George Best who was 7 years old.Bette mentioned that Toddy's grandfather was named "Gus" (possibly August) and his grandmother's name was "Tilly" (possibly Mathilda).That means that his father could be George the adopted son.
I have to go to the National Archives in Philadelphia to look up the full record.When I get some time, I plan to go there.
Please feel free to call me and maybe we can coordinate our efforts.I can be reached by call (856) 740-0860.I'd appreciate it if you could send me Lisa's e:mail address so I can contact her also.
Take care.
