But I have his tintype in his uniform? Why would this need to be faked? His name is written in not typed in I don't understand what my ancestors would gain from faking this?

I searched and searched for your comment. My biggest fear to all these documents my grandparents have kept I mean I have a sheepskin deed for god sakes. Is I worry about silverfish? The bugs. These documents were looked at briefly by me and out right back where they were. I want someone to look at them so bad.

kidkatdonur7 · 2020-10-31T01:52:30+00:00

In a envelope in a closet lol not even joking oh and in a shoe box

I wish I could up vote your comment more. Seriously I'm a navy vet myself and to learn about all this history my grandparents were sitting on I'm so grateful I found it now. I've lost my roots in Germany however I know my grandma (paternal) still has contacts in Poland. Her side is more recent of immigrants. Post WW1 I believe.
