Gone Daddy Gone

I spent today doing some research on my father's side of the family.  I don't know much about my dad, or his family because after my parents divorced, he didn't really talk much to us.  But on top of that, his dad left him when he was just under a year old, and he never really knew his dad.  And today while doing research and looking over census records and immigration records, I see that his dad spent a lot of time with his grandmother and not his father.  In 1940 at the age of 15, it shows that my grandfather was living with his grandmother, aunt and uncle, instead of his father and his new family.  Talk about coming to understand better some of the deep seeded issues.
