The Second Child of Bertram Lawrence McDermott and Edith Gradt: James

James was born on 30 Aug 1930 in Chicago. He is the baby of the family of Uncle Bert and Aunt Edie.

He met and married Marjorie N. Noonan on 6 Sep 1956 in possibly Evanston, Illinois. Together, they had four children: Megan, Jamie, Molly, & Sarah.

Marjorie was born on 25 Mar 1932 in Evanston, Illinois. She died on 22 May 1998 in Blue Ash, Hamilton, Ohio. It is surmised that James is still alive, as I have no knowledge to the contrary.

Megan was born on 10 Sep 1957 in Illinois and died on 22 Dec 1997 in Cincinnati, Hamilton, Ohio. No information is available at this time on the other children.
