Hi Folks, looks like you have a nice town--unfortunately I've never been there. I'm looking for possible relatives, including my birth father. I have very little information to go on ---this includes the following:he came from Kittaning area, his name was(or is) Donald Ralph Claypool(nickname was "Red")--if still alive he would be in his early 70's. In the late 40's he served a stint with the US Army in Panama and contracted malaria there. In 1946-47 he was either married to or had an affair with my mother Anna Louise Hoke of White Sulphur Springs, WVA. Would greatly appreciate any help or information. Locating my father has been a life long goal of mine--it seems we have something other than blood in common and that was neither of us could get along with my mother. thanks in advance to whomever might reply
