Greetings everyone from Simi valley CA USA

Great insight! As I research my 2nd great grandfather (LRFH-1KT), I find a lot of conflicting information. He lived in Pennsylvania, moved to Sparta, IL for some reason about 1896. I know ZERO about the history of either location. So, you empowered me to get a working on that. Things I am looking to glean: born in the US (or travel over as a child), why did he move to Illinois, doesn't seem to have his job at the next location (at least the railroad), how does the 1/2 brother fit and his side of the family.
