Jim,
I am looking at Dad’s baptismal certificate that has his parents’ name on it. Grampa was listed as Charles August Matthews and Gramma was Walborg Holm. She signed her name as Wallie and that is what everyone knew her by. I always thought Grampa’s middle name was Augustus. The copy of Dad’s birth certificate lists only a male Matthews born 4-4-1920. Place of birth was 307 2nd Ave Manhattan. His parents lived at 238 7 Ave. Astoria, Long Island, New York. There is a note in Gramma’s handwriting that says the birth certificate was issued before they named him Charles and that is why his birth certificate only lists Matthews as the name. This note was written 8/16/1937. You’ll need to change Arthur from Gampa’s name or else Arthur is someone else. Being the great detective you are, I am sure you will find out the facts.
