This was my Great Great Great Grandfather. Looking at his picture my dad has the same face lol. Same hairline. My father's side. His mother was Sharon Louise Sorrell. Her mother was Golda Howard. Her father was Harve Howard. His father was Jacob Montgomery Howard. I believe he was very young when his father passed. RIP
