I'm not sure about the correct spelling of the last name, but my mom's birth father was a Sam Salem (possibly from Sicily) who was stationed in the US Army in 1942 in Marion, Ohio. I believe his parents came here from abroad. Around 1942, he dated an Anna Mae Auman from Tiro, Ohio. They had a daughter in June of 1943. I would love to find more info. on Sam if possible. I found someone who could be him through a search, but can't confirm as he passed away in 1981, and I can find no record of a marriage or children. I don't want anything other than to find family history and possible half-siblings for my mom (the daughter born in June of 1943).
