You could start by obtaining his birth certificate: http://www.health.state.ny.us/nysdoh/consumer/vr.htm you could also check the social security death index. If he had a social security number you may find details there: ssdi.genealogy.rootsweb(.)com - REmember to remove the ( ) from the address Judy

What about the 1881 census at familysearch? Might be worth a try. Barbara
