Hi Julie, It is so good to hear from you. Yes, you are in my line of FENDER's. I now have us documented back to Germany. Aren't you Charles David FENDER's daughter? Your Grandfather who passed away 02/14-2000 was my Grandmother's Brother. My Grandmother was Hazel FENDER--Ellis, she was the oldest and your Grandfather was the youngest. They had another brother named Harry who died as an infant and is buried in Pomona, CA., along side William W. FENDER. So this is how our line goes Hans Michael > Christian > Nimrod > Calvin Daniel > William W.> Charles P., Sr.,> then yours is Charles P., Jr.,> Charles David > then you and your children if you have any. If your Dad is Charles David he was @ Walnut Ridge Hoxie, AR., on Thanksgiving Day and your Grandmother was w/ them but they didn't make the trip up to my cousins where we all were. Yes, G-Aunt Grace FENDER--Ballew does live in Tyler, TX., her other siblings were G-Aunt Gladys FENDER--Ballard who died in Dallas, TX., Jessie--FENDER--Doyle; Velva--FENDER--Andrus; they both resided and died @ Pine Bluff, AR. My Mother is still living @ Ash Flat, AR., about 10-miles from me. I moved back to AR., 7-1/2-years ago, my sister lives just 20-miles North of me, my youngest brother resides in Colorado, our oldest brother passed away 01/24-2000, just days before your Grandfather. Otherwise we would have been @ your Grandfather's funeral in Duncanville, TX. So e-mail me back asap w/ a personal e-mail address or I'll write to you @ your home address. PattifromAR@webtv.net
