Burke W Jay WWII History
9 Dec 1944 This page is dedicated to my father-in-law, Burke W Jay, who served during WWII as a navigator on a B-17 bomber, and was shot down over Czechoslovakia on 9 Dec 1944. Burke was one of four crew members who survived - the other six were executed by the Nazis - and served out the remainder of the war as POWs in Stalag Luft 1, until being liberated by the Russians in May 1945. Thank you for your service. |

Who's Henry Goldner?
(1845-1925)
Chuck recently sent me a picture of an inscription on a pocket watch (click image to enlarge), which started me on the search to discover who was Henry Goldner.
Henry Goldner is the 2nd Great Grandfather of Dotty, Billy, Barbara & Charlie on their Mom's line; 3rd GGFather of Michael, Chris & Cody; 4th GGFather of Jaxon, Gunner & Sterling; and the father of the "Goldner Aunties". Henry and his wife, Louisa, had 11 children - one son and 10 daughters!!! He was an industrious man who owned his own company and rose in the ranks to that of a Prominent Philadelphian.
