Hi Again Joseph,
Will scan info and send it to you sometime this weekend. Sorry to hear of Shirley's ills, so glad she is doing better. Please give her my best the next time you talk to her.

Joseph,
Sorry it has taken me so long to get back to you. This Spring and Summer have been doozey's. Taking care of my 97yr old Mom.
If you will give me your email address, I will send what little I have on the Kirsch's to you. It has been so long since our original contact, that you may well have more information than I do. Also, Shirley promised to send some pictures your grandmother had. Said she was going to get them from her daughter. I'm thinking she has forgotten, hope she is doing well.
Regards, Ella Brooks Decker

Joseph, It doesn't sound like I am any further along on the Kirsch journey than you are, as I just started on this branch of the family last year. I have not transcribed my notes onto my laptop yet and sadly, they are in Michigan right now. However, I will try to do a little digging on the internet and see if I can come up with anything. It has been my experience that a lot of the births in those days were assisted at home by midwives. That is not to say that there is not a birth certificate floating around somewhere.
