  • Name Brockway, Richard S. 
    Born 15 Jun 1912  Iowa, USA Find all individuals with events at this location  [1, 2, 3] 
    • According to an indexed entry of his death certificate, Richard was born in Oshkosh, Wisconsin. In the 1920 and 1930 U.S. censuses, the birth place is recorded as Iowa, the same as his two brothers. Given the family chronology that has been developed to date, I think a birth in Iowa is more likely and have recorded it thus.
