Classification: Query
Surnames: Veasey, Lee, McGraw, Grimes,
Thanks to some very helpful folks I have some additional information. My name is Shawn M. Veasey daughter of Ruth Ann Grimes (daughter of Mollie Craigg Grimes and Herman Grimes born in Cherokee County, Texas) and Charles Walter Veasey (son of Vernon Veasey Sr., mother’s maiden name was/is Lee.)

Information I have so far:
Charles Walter Veasey born August 24, 1940 (deceased)
He has an older brother named Vernon John Veasey (living as far as I know)
And I was informed recently that my father has at least 2 to 3 other siblings, whether they are living or deceased is unknown.

Jo Ann Veasey born in Imperial County, California (I assume Brawley since this is where my father was born.) on February 21, 1944
Tommy Eugene Veasey born in Imperial County, California (I assume Brawley since this is where my father was born.) on July 15, 1942
Vernon John Veasey born in Imperial County, California (I assume Brawley since this is where my father was born.) on October 11, 1938

I also found record of a Verna Mae Veasey who’s mother shares the same maiden name of as my father, Jo Ann Veasey, Tommy Eugene Veasey, and Vernon John Veasey. She was born in Arizona on May 06, 1937 and passed away in Los Angeles County on May 15, 1952 at the age of 15.

I don’t have any information about my father’s mother except her maiden name of Lee.

This is the information I have about my dad’s father:

Vernon Veasey Sr. born in Oklahoma July 14, 1914 and passed away April 21, 1985 in Kern County, California, (Bakersfield I assume.) and his mother’s maiden name was McGraw.

Eugene L. Veasey Sr. born in Oklahoma May 5, 1926 and passed away January 1, 1983 in Contra County, California, and his mother’s maiden name was McGraw.

Robert Veasey Sr. born in Oklahoma May 1, 1924 and passed away September 3, 1986 in Kern County, California, (Bakersfield I assume.) and his mother’s maiden name was McGraw.

Both of my parents are deceased and I am looking for information on both of their families, as far back as possible.
