Doerr in Illinois
I do not have any ancestry history on my father's side of my family (the Doerr's). My Grandfather Fred W. Doerr (God rest his soul in Dec. 2006) married my Grandmother Elizabeth Gaide and they had lived in Villa Park, IL until they moved to Tucson, AZ sometime in the 1980's. I was pretty young at the time, so I don't have a lot of knowledge of our whole family unit. My parents divorced when I was 2 years old, so I don't know a whole lot of the Doerr side of the family and probably only attended a few of the family reunions as a young child. My Grandma Elizabeth Gaide and My Grandpa Fred W. Doerr had three children: Susan J. Doerr (married Timothy Sullivan), Scott Doerr (married Vicki ?) and Joel E. Doerr (married Gail M. Chernetzki-my mother). I know my Great Grandma Gaide's name was Esther because I was told that my father wanted to name me after her originally. My Grandfather Fred W. Doerr had a brother named Carl Doerr (also recently passed away) who has lived I believe in Rolling Meadows, IL for some time. I would like to know more about my fanily's history and the geneology of the family. Maybe I still have a lot of relatives I haven't ever met. I stopped talking to my father when I was 13 due to his drug use and mental illnesses and didn't talk to him again until I was 26 because my Grandma Elizabeth Doerr convinced me to forgive him. I am now 29 years old and have 2 children of my own. I'd like to know more about where I came from and how my family got here. Hopefully someone can help me out on this.
