Modglin Family Genealogy Forum
  
Trying to find information on my great-grandparents and beyond. My grandfather was Barry Royal Modglin he was born Feb. 6, 1891. I believe he was born in Illinois and lived in southern Illinois all his life. He married Ginny Davis on March 9, 1911. My grandfather died March 27, 1987, he was living in Tamms, Il. at the time. His mother's name was Mary and his father's name was James or John. My grandfather was their first child and he had a brother John Modglin who lived in Granite City, Il at one time and may have married a women named Gladys. Another brother Jake Modglin had run a hotel in Cairo, Il. A sister named Cora Modglin who married Fritz Randolph. A sister named Orrie(not sure of spelling) Modglin had daughter named Hazel but not sure of Orrie's married name. Youngest child was James Modglin who was living in Mounds City, Il when he died in fall of 1979 and was married to Francis.
I know my grandfather Barry Modglin often used just his initals B. R. He lived in or near Pulaski, Il, Sandusky, Il, Mill Creek, Il, and Tamms, Il. I have been told that my father Ralph Modglin was born in Hodges Park, Il.
No one in the family wrote down any family history, but I'm interested in finding out where the Modglins came from. So if anyone can identify my greatgrandparents from this please contact me. I would like to find out more about my family history.
