TO ALL READERS:

My name is Michael Law and I have posted here before. Since my last post I
have found out additional information.

Let me re-hash my history. I have done extensive research on my paternal
surname; however, most recently I just discovered that the man listed on my
birth certificate Tallie W. Law, Jr was not my father. I was always told
that he was sent to prison while my mother was 8 months pregnant. It was not
until I researched the Ohio Penn Prison Roster did I discover that he was in
prison before I was conceived and not released until after I was born. My
mother and him never re-united again.

I finally, had the courage to ask my mother who was my father. She told me
today and said she was greatly relieved to divulge this secret she kept for
almost 42 years.

I was born July 8, 1957 in Columbus, Ohio. I would have been conceived
probably somewhere around October, November, or December 1956. My mother was
about 26 years old in 1957. She said my father was SAM CRAWFORD. She is not
sure how much older he was than her. At first she said he was 15 years her
senior thus he would have probably been born around 1916, but again she is
not sure now???

Sam was living with his sister (BERTHA ARNOLD) and brother-in-law (CLARENCE
W. ARNOLD), and nephew (Ronnie) on Deckenball Street in Columbus, Ohio. Sam
was a bartender at the Neil House in Columbus, Ohio, again in 1956. The last
time my mother seen Sam was when I was about 3 years old.

Again some basic facts

Father's Name: Sam Crawford
Sam's Sister's Married Name: Bertha ARNOLD
Sam's Brother-in-Law: Clarence W. ARNOLD
Time: 1956-1957
Location: Columbus, OH
Employed @ Neil House as a bartender
Lived on Deckenball Street
May have been born between 1915-1930
