Looking for John Wesley Riggs of Philadelphia PA 1894 has a brother George
Help! I am just beginning the search and have hit too many walls.
My grandfather Charles Wesley Riggs was born June 2 1916 in Philadelphia PA - He died August 14 1998 in San Dimas CA - He had one brother William David Riggs also deceased, and another brother George that died as a child. I can not find any information on my great grandparents John and Pearl Riggs. I believe that John's father was also John married to Mary?
Father of Charles and Bill was John Wesley Riggs married to Pearl Kapis Dennison of the PA area. My mother and her sisters were all born in York PA. And the family farm is in Lancaster outside Amish country??
I could not find John W. (senior) and Mary in the 1910 Pennsylvania census nor in the 1920 Pennsylvania census.I also tried looking in the 1930 census, but couldn't find them in the parts that I looked through.
Part of the problem I'm having is that I don't have death dates for John Wesley or Pearl.All I have is that John Wesley died in 1950 and that Pearl died in 1956 and we're not sure how accurate that is.
If anyone could help it would be greatly appreciated.
Thank You
Julie
