Cross Country on a Motorcycle

The search for the grave begins. I scanned some Pittsburgh cemetery listings provided by the Ancestry.com community. No luck yet.

While at my parents’ house over Thanksgiving, I asked my dad about any memories he had of his father. To my surprise, Dad did not know his father very well. The family split up when he was about three years old.

My dad told me that his parents took a motorcycle trip from Pittsburgh to California with their oldest son Donald in tow! (He must have been a young child then.) Why did they take that trip? Were they two adventurers in love? If so, what happened that lead to the breakup?

Still, more questions than answers.
