Subject: Charles Addison Neff Jr 1920 - 2000
Hello Dave,
I am doing research on the above name and have some questions. On your webpage, you don't mention any siblings that Charles Jr has. By my records, he has a few but I want to compare to what you have. Also, I am unable to locate a 1930 census for Charles Sr, Oma and family. Do you happen to have a copy? Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Teresa
