Looking for my dads' half-sisters family--Her name was KATHERYN LORENE METTEE born in chicago 1906= she was in chicago 1923, 16 years old when the house burned down and she lost her mother EMMA ULA RIPKE and her grandmother CATHERINE RIPKE- she had a brother KENNETH RICHARD METTEE 2 years older than her- he married HELEN VOHRALIK in rock island illinois-they had 2 daughters and later divorced. I am looking for the family of KATHERYN L. METTEE so that I can connect and share our genealogy. My grandfather, HARRISON CHASE METTEE re-married and later moved to rock island illinois. I have found our records under many different spellings. so if you have a family tree member named KATHERYN LORENE born in 1906 in chicago I would really like to see if she is the same person I've been looking for for the past decade. Anyone looking for METTEE in Illinois-/Indiana/Iowa I'd be happy to share what Ive got and look for what you need! Also, anyone having information on Baltimore Maryland area, my gr-gr-gr-father born in 1815 SAMUEL E. METTEE --I've been unable to trace his birth and parents. Good hunting to all of you!!
