Individual Details
Robert William Doerges (Step G.G.)
(29 Oct 1889 - 28 Mar 1974)
According to Frederick William Doerges Senior, after his natural father died, his mother remarried. Fred's new stepfather was Robert William Doerges, a cousin to his natural father, hence the same name.
The second Robert Doerges was previously married, and had two sons, Robert and Carlton. According to G.G. Doerges, both boys were "kidnapped" by their mother and raised in Honolulu, Oahu, Hawaii until grown. Their mother married again and the boys were adopted by their new father and their names were changed. This proved to be untrue, at least for one of his sons, due to the fact that Robert Doerges was located through his Social Security application information.
