March 2012: Status of Research on Emery Julius Ogden


Below is where my research stands on my maternal grandfather. He sure did not like to stay in one place for very long. I tried to keep notes during a conversation with my mom last summer about where she spent her childhood, but I could not keep up and she had trouble keeping times and places straight. Maybe there are local directories that I'll find some day that will help straighten out the time line.
