SEARCHING FOR WAVERLY

I thought I'd add a picture of one of my mother's friends back in the good ole' days, say 1941 and 1942.  She was very good at putting dates and names in her picture albums but on this one, I'm puzzled.  And I might add I'm having trouble finding out any information.  I must say he was a very good looking gentleman.  For that time frame I do say he looks every bit of the English gentleman.  Let me back up I don't know if he English or not.  Almost like a David Niven, wouldn't you say???


Add caption Do you recognize him???????

 

DNA BUMMER

I was so bummed over the week end.  My cousin, who I thought, and she did too, were cousins had our DNA done.  The results came back not a match!

I feel bad because I had to talk her into it.  But you can't choose your relatives.  So......she is my cousin because I choose her to be my cousin.

Now that that is over, back to the drawing board.  I looked at the pictures in my mother's photo album again.  I feel like I've gone over and over each picture with a fine tooth comb.  I did find a picture of her aunt with her new husband.  I didn't have his name and now I do.

My mother was really good with this particular album.  She started it on the first page with her name and the year.  Then under each picture she put the person's name and the date (year).  This has made it a bit easier, but, here is the dilemma. 

My mother married Roy Eisentrager Apr 1941 and he left for Camp Clebourne, LA a day or two after their wedding.  In Jul 1941 she is with Alan Schreiber at a park in WI.  Then all of 1941 she has pictures of Jr. Waverly from Waterloo (him in his uniform in front of her house then helping another couple cut wood).  In Jan 1942 she has a picture of Roy in his uniform standing on the porch of their house.  From divorce papers it states she was linked with Bud Wyburn in Feb 1942.  In Mar 1942 she is with Jr. Waverly in Golden CO standing in front of  Buffalo Bill's grave.

Now you see where I'm going with this don't you......I'm trying to figure out who is actually my father. 

Any ideas????

Until then..........................................

WAVERLY

I found pictures of my mother with a gentleman in 1941 & 1942 living in Austin, MN.  Since I found the pictures, 1999, I have tried in vain to figure out who this man is.  The caption under the picture of him states Jr. Waverly, soldier boy from Waterloo.  I found out there are a lot of states that can say they have a town or city named Waterloo.

The man is wearing a uniform, which I took was a WWII uniform, probably Army.  I took the picture to the Ft. Sam Houston Historical Museum in San Antonio, TX and they couldn't identify the uniform.  So I'm back to square one again.  Who is this man?

As I dug deeper into my mother's relationship I found out she was close to several other gentlemen too.  As one observer put it, they were sweet on each other.  Well here we have it.  During 1941 my mother married, and he left right away for Camp Cleburn, Louisana.  She had pictures of her, very close and chummy, with Waverly plus a trip to Buffalo Bill's grave in Golden CO.  Then when I found her divorce papers in the archives she had a child while her husband was away.

When her husband came home from the war my mother had a baby with his last name.  He claimed the child was not his and that she had an affair and he gave the child's birthdate for the court records.  MY BIRTHDATE.  My mother signed an affidavit stating that was true.  What a surprise!

Now then I have been left the dilemma of trying to figure out who my father really is.  Oh did I add that all of the parties stated above have since passed away.  I think I may have found one of them but how do I go about proving it?  I've had my DNA done and so far nothing has jumped up. 

But I'm really stumped on Waverly.  Take a look at the picture and maybe you may know him.  At least give me a name.

Until then.....................................
