My father was an identical twin born in Coffeyville
Kansas 12/31/1923. I only know his mother's name was Mary Margaret
Monahan and his father's last name was
Pope. The twins were named Melvin (my father) and
Elvin Pope. Around 1927 the parents divorced and one child went to each parent. My father went with his father, who later abandoned him at a Catholic orphanage in the area. His mother took
Elvin and then died a year or two later of tuberculoses (sp?). My father died without giving any more details than this - his anger was that great. I would appreciate any information anyone has out there so I can find that side of my family. Thank you.
