Need info of a Michael Gottschalk probably died in Rhode Island in tne 1930's. Father of my father Alfred Gottschalk ,aging and ill. Any info would be of some help.

Hi, I'm not sure if this will help, but my mother (Margaret Gottschalk Carrio) had a brother named Alfred. They lost touch years ago. She had one sister, Bertha, three brothers, Robert, Alfred and Ernest. My Grandmother's name was Myrtle Arthuretta (Niven) Gottschalk. I think her husband was Michael William Gottschalk. If Alfred is my Uncle, we would like to contact him. Please e-mail us - thanks,
Sandra

Dear Sandra ,
I think you are my cousin , whom I met when I visited in Alabama in about 1965 . If I recall correctly you were the oldest . My father Alfred just passed away on his birthday this past August 1st 2001. I would really very much like to keep in touch and glean as much infomation about my Dad and his family history as I can . Although my father was a difficult man , we were very close and his death has come hard . I am very excited about your answering my message -
I buried my father in New York Harbor . I am married and live in CT now . I know my brothers will be also very excited . My father would not speak much of his family history , he was much like how I remember his mother Myrtle to be back when I visited in 1965 , taciturn , guarded and a bit paranoid . I was only 15 at the time , I didn't understand . How is my Uncle Ernest ? Do you know what happened to Uncle Robert ? Your Mom and Aunt Bertha ? I am sorry I never kept in touch with our Grandmother , but I felt hurt by her reception of me when I visited and although she did write to me I never answered .
