Part 785p – Smith Groh Genealogy –1933 – The National Home for Disabled Soldiers – GGG-Grandfather Leo Pariza – Milwaukee, Wisconsin

Good Day,

And one never knows what one can stumble upon when one keeps searching and researching one’s genealogy and ancestry. Today I discovered a page entry for ggg-grandfather Leo Parasaya (aka Parisaya, aka Pariza) of his history as provided by the Northwestern Branch of the National Home for Disabled Volunteer Soldiers in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. This is now the third rendition of the spelling of the surname Pariza.

Per The Prologue Magazine from the website of The National Archives – “This vintage postcard shows the main building of the Northwestern Branch of the National Home for Disabled Volunteer Soldiers, opened in Milwaukee (Wood), Wisconsin, in 1867.” It is from the author, Trevor K. Plante’s collection.

There is a tremendous amount of information provided by the Register regarding ggg-grandfather Leo. It is a shame that there is no more specific information about where ggg-grandfather Leo was born, except “Canada”. This of course means more searching… Canada is such a large country.

Here is the image of the page from the Register of the Northwestern Branch of the National Home for Disabled Volunteer Soldiers as downloaded from Ancestry.com.

And my Clooz Report Summary –

According to the “Home History” section of the Register regarding ggg-grandfather Leo’s information, it appears that he was first admitted to the Northwestern Branch 14 November, 1924. According to the "Domestic History" his age is entered at 46 years. A quick calculation would mean that ggg-grandfather was born circa 1878.

And the search continues.

Enjoy,

Jim
