• Notes

  Virgil's death certificate lists Curtis as his father but it's spelled oddly and indexed poorly. The last record I have that I am sure belongs to our Virgil is his draft registration in Webster County. It's possible that he is the Virgil V McGhee in Chicago in 1930, married to Marie for 8 years.
