In Search of Barbara Mertz, 1922 Cleveland OH
I am searching for any leads or information that can help me peice together my family tree. My biological grandmother's maiden name was Barbara Mertz. On April 27th in the year 1922 she gave birth to my grandfather, Robert Joseph Mertz. My grandfather was born in a Tiberculosis Sanitorium in Warrensville Ohio, Cayahoga Cty. Barbara Mertz was 38 at the time. The father of my Grandfather is listed as unknown on his birth certificate.
Soon after my Grandfather was born he was adopted by Urban and Helen Knapschafer. The mystery behind my grandfather's origins was a subject of severe pain for him and subsequently a source of great bitterness even unto his death. A great mystery would be solved for myself and my father and uncle should anyone be able to lend a peice of information.
Barbara Mertz lived, at the time of my Grandfather's birth, at 10315 Elk Ave in or around Cleveland Ohio.
Thankyou..
Rob Knapschafer Jr.
