Who is Vishal Garg of Better.com, Better Mortgage? Father Chand, Mother, Brother Vikas, manhole covers from India, by Mary Cummins

Vishal Garg of Better Mortgage better.com was born in Rajasthan, India about 1978. I have the exact birth dates but I'm not posting them even though they're public. I'm only posting public information. Vishal Garg is a public figure. These are issues of public concern. He moved with his mother, father and brother to New York as a child. 

Vishal Garg's father is Chand Prakash Garg born about 1952 in India. Chand Garg is a mechanical engineer per his LinkedIn page. He attended the Indian Institute of Management, Ahmedabad, PGDM ( MBA ), Strategic Planning, PGDM ( MBA ) 1974 - 1976 and the Birla Institute of Technology and Science, Pilani, BE ( Hons ), Mechanical Engineering, BE ( Hons ), Mechanical Engineering, 1968 - 1973. 

Chand Garg owns and operates Global Business Inc out of his home in Forest Hills, New York. GBI is in the "construction business." Chand Garg works with R B AGARWALLA & CO. making, selling manhole covers. There have been many articles an even a documentary about Indian made manhole covers which are used widely in New York and other states in the US. There is a photo from 2003 of Chand proudly holding a design for a manhole cover. The rest of the article is basically about Chand and the company bragging about basically using super cheap almost slave labor with little to no safety or environmental regulations to make lots of money.

Chand Garg was quoted in the following 2003 article ("The Ironcast System," S Mitra Kalita, Newsday, NEW YORK, NEW YORK, Monday, January 20, 2003) about why the US buys manhole covers from India. It's because of cheap labor, cheap supplies, little to no safety/environmental regulations and profits.

"We pay these people $1 per day for eight hours," said B.N. Agarwal, senior partner of R.B. Agarwalla in Calcutta, which exports manhole covers. "Their cost in the U.S. is $24 per hour. The advantage of India is only labor." New York City is R.B. Agarwalla's largest contract, worth about $2 million annually. Most foundries bid through U.S.-based contractors, and the family-run Agarwalla's middleman works from his home in Forest Hills.

Chand Garg rises each day at 6 a.m. to catch his clients in India before they leave for the day. Folders stuffed with designs for manhole covers, valve boxes and water hydrants fill Garg's second-floor office. He says he has formed close relationships with the staff of the city's Department of Environmental Protection, which is in charge of the city's manhole covers. Like Garg, many DEP staffers have a background in engineering. And like Garg, many are Indian. The same can be said for the dozen or so middlemen like Garg who operate throughout the United States bidding on contracts and then placing orders with foundries in India.

"We know each other but we don't talk to each other," he said. "We are competing. Sometimes we lose the bids for $100 on a million-dollar contract."

Manhole cover costs vary by weight, and New York City's current specifications call for them to be 27 inches in diameter, the cover to weigh 195 pounds and the frame to weight 345 pounds. Garg said Indian foundries often charge 24 cents per pound, while their American counterparts charge 50 cents per pound."

The manhole covers are built in Howrah, India in foundries. These foundries were set up during the 1800's by the British colonialists during their occupation of India. There's very little safety regulations in the foundries. They emit huge quantities of smoke and pollutants. 

A New York Times article "New York Manhole Covers Forged Barefoot in India" exposed the dangers and harsh working conditions in the foundries. There is little to no safety equipment. Instead of machinery and forklifts the barefoot men lift and carry the heavy manhole covers. The working conditions were so shocking that they've since been investigated. There's a documentary film called "Cast in India (trailer)." Many of these workers are maimed or killed making manhole covers. 

This explains a lot about Vishal Garg who thinks his employees are lazy and never work hard enough for him. This is why he's always grinding contractors and business associates. His father clearly taught him that it's good to abuse and take advantage of  employees and business associates in the name of profits and money. That's clearly all Vishal Garg cares about. 

I had to find this information through newspapers.com. All mention of Chand Garg and the manhole covers was erased from the same articles on the internet. His name, name of his business are available on the internet. 

Chand Garg self identifies as Southeast Asian, Hindu, language Hindi. He lists his business category as "metal services" "wholesale." He's registered to vote in New York. He lives in a 2.5 story home in Forest Hills, New York. Home is 2,549-3,200 sf, 5 bed, 4 bath, two kitchens so maybe a guest house, estimate $1.6-1.8M and tax assessed at over $1,000,000 built 1910. He bought it for $472K in 1992 then listed it for sale for $2.5-$2.6M recently then removed the listing. Sounds over priced. Based on the photos he posted when he listed his house his parents appear to be religious Hindu. https://www.realtor.com/realestateandhomes-detail/7743-Kew-Forest-Ln_Flushing_NY_11375_M47524-40979

Vishal's mother is Manju. His brother is Vikas C Garg born about 1980. Vikas is involved in abillionveg abillion.com. His main job seems to be venture funding for his own business. "I spent most of my career working in Wall Street, finance, trading and hedge funds. I even worked for the U.S. government for a few years and helped them manage money. I had this whole career separately outside of my social values. It was this career that brought me to Singapore six years ago." 

Vishal talking about his youth. "Yes. My mom, dad, brother and I moved to New York City when I was five, so I was a minority student in the public school system. I was fortunate to have my father, a math genius, coach me in the subject: he and I spent many summers on his office floor learning math from old Indian textbooks." 

It appears abillionveg now called just abillion wants to raise funds for their app which just hosts reviews of vegan products made by other people. He hooked up with a tech guy to create the business just like Vishal and Khan. Maybe he's copying his brother's business model of raising funds for a business then keeping as much money for himself. The abillionveg Facebook page is gone. I've been vegan forever. In the last 5-10 years so many people just use veganism to raise venture funds. They don't even intend for the company to be successful or even operational. 

Vishal is married to Sonia Alexander Palmieri Li who was born in Los Angeles. Her father was an Asian mathematician, statistician maybe from Hawaii who died in 2013. Her mother is Dr Deborah Anne Palmieri born in Massachusetts who specializes in Russian business. She's of Italian descent. 

In 2009 Vishal Garg married Sarita M James in New York. She was born about 1976. Her father is Dr Thekkumkattil Devasia James a medical doctor from India. Her mother is Dr Pushpom James also a medical doctor. Lots of education, degrees and intelligence in these families. Sadly making money at the expense of other people seems to be their goal. 

Who is Michael Dwayne Vick professional football player? Family, ancestry, DNA, biography, parents, grandparents

Michael Dwayne Vick, June 26, 1980, Newport News, Virginia, mother, father, wife, wives, children, grandparent, grandmother, grandfather, uncle, aunt, criminal, dog fighting, football, prison, Kijafa Frink, Jada, London, Mike Jr, Mitez, Michael Dwayne Boddie, Brenda Jean Vick, Joseph Vick, Caletha Virginia Glast, Ernestine Buggs, Janes Edwin Boddie, Ardelia Buggs, Samuel Vick, Ada Knight, Lonnie Boddie, Jones, Johnson, Walton, North Carolina, Mary Cummins

I was curious about Michael Dwayne Vick's background so I did a quick Google search. No one has done an article about his family background. I decided to do some research which was very revealing. Michael Vick is not the only talented football player in his family. He has quite a few relatives who were very talented, went to college on football scholarships, graduate school, did very well then went on to become successful business men.

Before I begin forget the notion that the child takes the father's name. That rarely happens in this family. The children take the mothers' last names. This has happened in the last three of four generations of this family. I state this so people won't get confused or think that I've made a mistake. Follow along with the above family tree. Click it to make it bigger.

Michael Dwayne Vick was born June 26, 1980 in Newport News, Virginia. His father is Michael Dwayne Boddie born 1961 in Newport News, Virginia. His mother is Brenda Jean Vick born 1963 in Newport News, Virginia.

Michael Dwayne Boddie married Brenda Jean Vick December 7, 1990. They divorced June 30, 2009. Michael Vick's siblings are Christina Vick, Courtney Vick and Marcus Deon Vick born 1984. His brother Marcus was arrested on drug and other charges along with their father Michael Boddie. The only photos I had for those two for the tree were their mugshots.

Michael Vick married Kijafa Frink in 2012. Together they have three children, London born 2004, Jada born 2007 and Michael Vick Jr born 2018. Michael Vick has another child named Mitez Vick born 2002 with Tameka Taylor.

Michael's paternal grandfather was James Edwin Boddie 1938-2019. I don't know if he ever married Michael's grandmother Ernestine Delores Buggs 1937-2014 or if she just used his name. She had at least one other husband who was Raymond Huston Henderson. Below is Ernestine's obituary.

"Reidsville – Ms. Ernestine Delores Buggs Henderson died Monday, October 20, 2014. Survivors are: daughters, Vanessa Boddie, Sharon Boddie and Leona Boddie; sons, Edwin Buggs, Lonnie Boddie, Michael Boddie and Kenneth Boddie; a host of grandchildren; great-grandchildren; special friends, Willette Thompson, Angela Mc Clurklin and Benita Turner; other relatives and friends."

Together (?) they had maybe nine children, Kenneth, Leona, Lonnie, Sharon, Vannessa, Edwin Lesley Buggs Jr, James Thomas Boddie 1956-1999, Father John Derrick Boddie 1958-2009 and his father Michael Dwayne Boddie.

Below is the obituary of James Thomas Boddie Michael Vick's uncle.

James Thomas Boddie

"James T. Boddie NEWPORT NEWS - James T. Boddie, 42, of Newport News, died Friday, March 12, 1999, at Hampton General Hospital following a long illness. He was born in Newport News on May 31, 1956, to James Boddie Sr. and Ernestine Buggs. Mr. Boddie attended schools in Newport News and in Baltimore. He served in the U.S. Army before returning to Newport News to become a welder and pipe fitter for the International Boiler Makers. As a welder, he worked for various contractors and subcontractors associated with Newport News Shipbuilding. Survivors include his daughter, Shenna Boddie of Baltimore; a son, Jamontral Boddie of Newport News; his dear friend and companion, Sharon Peade; his mother and father; three sisters, Vanessa, Sharon and Leona; and five brothers, Edwin, Lonnie, John, Michael and Kenneth. A funeral service will be held at Franklin Funeral Home, 2117 Madison Ave., Newport News, at 11 a.m. Thursday, March 18. Burial will be in Oakland Cemetery."

Below is the obituary of Father John Derrick Boddie who was Michael Vick's uncle.

Father John Derrick Boddie

"Reverend John Derrick Boddie, 50, the priest and beloved pastor of the Catholic Church of the Visitation in Middlesex County and the Catholic Church of Francis De Sales in Mathews County of the Diocese of Richmond, died from cancer. Father Boddie, the son of James Boddie and Ernestine Henderson, was born July 11, 1958 in Newport News as the third of nine children. He was raised by his grandmother, Esther Boddie, who introduced him to the Catholic religion by taking him to St. Alphonsus Church in Newport News, which later merged with St. Vincent De Paul. Upon his graduation from Peninsula Catholic High School in 1977, he attended Saint Meinrad College in Indiana. From there, he entered St. Mary’s Seminary in Baltimore in 1983. He was ordained on May 14, 1988 and initially assigned to Our Lady of Nazareth Parish in Roanoke as an Assistant Priest. From there he served at St. Paul’s in Richmond for two years as an Assistant Priest and subsequently was transferred to the Church of the Holy Spirit in Virginia Beach. After a sabbatical, in 1997 he became the pastor of the Catholic parishes in Middlesex and Mathews counties, where he has faithfully served the parishioners for almost 12 years. Stricken with cancer almost two years ago, he valiantly fought the disease while enrolled in an experimental program at Duke University until his untimely death just a few days after celebrating his 21st year as an ordained priest. He is survived by his parents; four sisters, Vanessa, Sharon, Leona and Anna Boddie; and three brothers, Michael, Kenneth, and Lonnie Boddie. One of his siblings, James Boddie, passed away several years ago. “Father John” was a brilliant homilist, often sought as a guest priest or speaker by other churches and denominations throughout the Middle Peninsula and Richmond communities. Beloved by all, he was widely known for his care and concern for the sick and homebound, visiting them frequently and enlightening their lives by his presence. He extended his ministry to the regional jail with success and gratitude. Because of his endearing personality and the respect he displayed for the Sacraments of Baptism and Marriage, Catholics from parishes apart from his, often requested he give those Sacraments to them."

Michael's mother Brenda Jean Vick graduated from Homer L. Ferguson High School in Newport News, Virginia in 1963. She was not involved in any extracurricular activities or sports. Most of the family went to the same high school.

Brenda Vick's brother Joseph Vick Jr born 1952 was involved in the drug sales along with Michael Vick's father and brother. Brenda's other siblings were Clifton Earl Vick 1953-1953, Gwendolyn Delores Vick Gilmore 1954-2014, Joyce R Vick born 1956, Tina Leanne Vick born 1962 and Casey Cardell Vick born 1964.

Below is Gwendolyn's obituary.

Gwendolyn Diane Vick Gilmore

"NEWPORT NEWS, VA - Gwendolyn Diane Gilmore, 59, went to be with the Lord on Sunday, October 12, 2014. A native of Newport News, she graduated from Ferguson High School in 1974 and received her associates degree from Thomas Nelson Community College. For many years she worked in the transportation department with the Newport News Public School system. Survivors include: her children, DeWayne Leonard Vick (Colette), Ramona Katina Vick, Calvin Gilmore (Sabrina). Two brothers, Joseph Vick Jr., and Casey Vick (Roberta) and three sisters, Joyce Crutchfield (Richard), Tina L. Vick and Brenda Vick. Mrs. Gilmore was blessed to have 9 grandchildren and a host of nieces, nephews and cousins. M.E. Fisher Funeral Home is in charge."

Brenda's sister Tina L Vick is the Vice Mayor of District 3 in Virginia. Below is her official biography. She is Michael Vick's aunt.

Tina Leanne Vick

"Vice Mayor Tina Vick was born and raised in Newport News in the southeast community, where she continues her desire to implement policy and programs to enhance the lives of all Newport News residents. Vice Mayor Vick has also published several articles including:
A Human Resource and Community Development Journal, Helping Virginia’s Future: The Resource Mothers Program, Volume II; October 1988
Daily Press, Take this job…and love it; September 1988
Vice Mayor Tina Vick has one daughter, Teunsha Vick and a son, Terrance Vick. She also has three grandsons, Shamar Vick, Brandon Diggs and Tyson Carter."

Michael Vick's maternal grandparents were Joseph Vick 1929-1995 and Caletha Virginia Glast 1932-2008.

Below is Caletha Virginia Glast Vick's obituary.

Caletha Virginia Glast Vick

"NEWPORT NEWS - Our Heavenly father needed another angel so on May 2, 2008, He sent for our beloved mother, Caletha Virginia Vick. She was born on Jan. 10, 1932, to the late Mr. and Mrs. Samuel and Ada Glast in Bethel, N.C. She was united in holy matrimony on Nov. 28, 1951, to the late Joseph Vick Sr. In 1953, she relocated to Newport News where she became a devoted housewife and mother. She accepted Christ at an early age and was never to busy to do what she could for others. She leaves to mourn and cherish her memories four daughters, Gwendolyn D. Gilmore, Joyce R. Crutchfield, Tina L. Vick and Brenda J. Boddie; two sons, Joseph Vick Jr. and Casey C. Vick; one sister, Clara M. Bess; a brother, James L. Glast; 15 grandchildren; 12 great-grandchildren; a host of other relatives and friends."

Michael Vick's paternal great grandparents are Lonnie Boddie 1892-1940, Esther Hester 1895-1986 and Alvin Branch (?) and Ardelia Buggs 1920-2009.

Lonnie Boddie was a farmer who owned his own home and completed the fourth grade. He was born in North Carolina and died in Newport News, Virginia. He died from coronary occlusion and myocartitis, i.e. heart problems. Most of the family died from heart disease.

Below is his wife Esther Hester Boddie's obituary.

"Mrs. Esther Boddie NEWPORT NEWS Mrs. Esther Boddie, of 665 12th St., died Tuesday in her home. She was born in Nash County, N.C., and was a member of Zion Baptist Church in Newport News. Survivors include three sons, John L. Boddie and Thomas Boddie, both of Newport News, and James Boddie of Baltimore, Md.; and several grandchildren and great-grandchildren. A funeral will be conducted at 2 p.m. Sunday at Mount Vernon Baptist Church in Nashville, N.C."

Ernestine Buggs said her father was Alvin Branch. I couldn't find any information on such a person. I believe her father is most likely Leslie Montgomery who is the father of her brother James Leslie Buggs.

Michael Vick's paternal great grandmother is Ardelia C Buggs 1920-2009. She was listed as a maid, shucker (oysters?) and a "helper" in directories. Below is her obituary.

Ardelia C Buggs

"ARDELIA BUGGS - HAMPTON - Mrs. Ardelia Buggs, born July 26,1920, passed away Oct. 28, 2009. A longtime resident of Newport News,Va., she was a professional baker, cook, domestic worker and babysitter. Viewing will be held from noon to 6 p.m. today, Nov. 6, 2009, at Cooke Bros. Funeral Chapel,1601-27th St. NN, VA. 23607. A funeral service will be held at 11 a.m. Saturday, Nov.7, 2009, at St.Timothy Church of Christ (Holiness).Interment will follow at Pleasant Shade Cemetery." Transcription by Mary Cummins.

Ardelia Bugg's brother Aaron Lee Buggs is Michael's great uncle. He was a football legend. Below is his obituary.

Aaron Lee Buggs

"Aaron Lee Buggs NEWPORT NEWS On Monday, Jan. 24, 2000, Aaron Lee Buggs unexpectedly slipped away answering our Master's call to end his earthly journey. Aaron was born on Oct. 23, 1928, in Weldon, N.C., to the late Rev. Willie and Anna Buggs. He was the youngest of 10 siblings. Aaron was educated in the school system of Newport News, graduating from Huntington High School, where he excelled in athletics, especially football, and he played under the tutelage of the late coach Thad Madden. Because of his great athletic ability, he was able to continue his education at Virginia State University, where he graduated in 1949. He obtained his master's degree from Columbia University, New York. Aaron entered the military service, serving in the U.S. Army. He was Commissioned as an officer at Fort Knox, Ky. After his military service was completed, Aaron taught in the educational systems of Virginia and California. Aaron leaves to cherish his memory, three sons, Eddie, Romian and Zealey; a daughter, Hope, all of California; two brothers, Eddie and Washington Buggs of Newport News; and two sisters, Ardelia Buggs of Newport News and Hester Jones of Hampton. Funeral services will be held at noon on Wednesday, Feb. 2, at St. Timothy Church of Christ Holinesss, USA, 1711 Madison Ave., Newport News. Burial will be in Pleasant Shade Cemetery."

Aaron Buggs was named the greatest athlete to finish Huntington High and was the top scorer on the "Viking eleven." He was also the co-Captain of the team. He gave the invocation for his high school graduating class of 1944. He did very well academically and went on to graduate school then became a teacher.

There are quite a few men in Vick's family who were extremely talented football players. They fortunately didn't get involved with the bad elements like Vick, Vick's father, brother, Vick's mother's brother...

Michael's maternal great grandparents are Sam Vick 1908-1989, Mary Louise Cotton 1907-2001, Samuel Glass/Glast 1894-1974 and Ada Jones Knight 1898-1957.

Sam Vick's obituary is below.

"Sam Vick HOBGOOD Sam Vick, 82, died Sunday, Nov 19, 1989. Born Nov. 14, 1907, he was son of the late Octavis and Coney Vick. Surviving: wife, Mary C. Vick; daughter, Hattie Andrews; sons, Joseph and John Henry Vick;, 16 grandchildren; 20 greatgrandchildren. Funeral services will be Saturday at 2 p.mr at Mt Zion Primitive Baptist Church, Princeville. Burial will follow at Community Cemetery, Princeville. A wake service will be held Friday, 7 to 8 p.m. at Baker Funeral Home, Tarboro."

The second great grandparents you can see in the tree above. It gets a little complicated with multiple spouses due to death and divorce.

While I was researching the family I added their memorials to FindAGrave.com along with their transcribed obituaries to help others. I also linked the memorials so people can just click one link to download an entire family or line. I may eventually turn this tree into an online searchable data tree.

I will update this later after I confirm Michael Vick's 3rd, 4th and 5th grandparents back to slavery. Obviously I won't be able to go farther than that.

The first free person ancestor of the Vick family was Nelson Vick 1837-1923 North Carolina. He had two wives, Amanda Bresser b. 1858 and Viney Locust b. 1843. Slavery ended in this area in 1863. It became a national law 1865. Some slaves were freed earlier by agreement or during the economic crisis of 1819 in this area. At that time some plantation owners abandoned their farms along with their slaves and moved west. The only records I see for any "Vick" family prior to this time in this area are white people. It's possible this family took the last name of their slave owner or just chose their own name. The only census before this time is white people with white and black slaves. The Freeman's census didn't come until later when the government worked to incorporate slaves in the regular population with homes and regular jobs.

Michael Vick is one of the descendants of the Callis Walton family. They have huge reunions in Virginia. They made a booklet about their family ancestry. Just tried to find it online but no luck. I'd already researched the tree back to the original Callis and Walton families. Then I hit the brick wall of slavery.

I originally wrote this when Beto O'Rourke was running for the Senate in Texas. Slight changes but the same biography and family history. 

Robert "Beto" Francis O'Rourke was born September 26, 1972 in El Paso, Texas. His parents are Pat Francis O'Rourke 1942-2001 and Melissa Martha Williams b. 1948. He has two younger sisters, Charlotte Jasper O'Rourke and Erin Brooks O'Rourke. Below is the pedigree view of Beto's family tree. Click it to see it larger.

Beto's father Pat Francis O'Rourke was a well known businessman, politician, lawyer and Judge in El Paso, Texas. From his obituary.

Robert Beto O'Rourke father Patrick Pat Francis O'Rourke, El Paso, Texas, biography  ancestry history DNA

"Political risk-taker died doing what he loved. By David Crowder, El Paso Times. Pat O'Rourke, a colorful El Paso politician, businessman and observer who lived life with passion and loved taking chances, was killed Tuesday morning riding the low-slung bicycle that was taking him across the country this time last year. A former county judge and commissioner, O'Rourke helped engineer the consolidation of the city and county tax offices and left office as the county's top Democratic official in 1986. Soon after, he switched parties to make an unsuccessful run for Congress as a Republican. He was 58; the father of one son, Robert "Beto" O'Rourke and two daughters, Charlotte and Erin; and husband to Melissa Williams O'Rourke, who runs the upscale Charlotte's furniture store on the city's West Side. Pat O'Rourke owned and managed the Ethan Allen furniture store on the West Side. A funeral Mass will be at 1 p.m. Friday at St. Patrick Cathedral, 1118 N. Mesa, after which O'Rourke will be buried at Memory Gardens of the Valley, 4900 McNutt, in Santa Teresa. Arrangements are by Martin Funeral Home West. "I just saw him two nights ago," Commissioner Dan Haggerty said. "You just kind of think that life is funny, life is fragile, and all of the things that people think are so important aren't really." Haggerty said what many others who knew O'Rourke might have thought on hearing the news that he died doing what he loved, pedaling a bicycle alone. "When he crossed the country, we followed the diary," Haggerty said, referring to the daily account O'Rourke posted on stanton-street.com, an online magazine run by his son. "He was very deep. As much as many of us would like to say we knew him, we did not know him. I think he was a lot more of a man and a lot less of a politician than some of us would like to think."

Robert "Beto" O'Rourke married Amy Hoover Sanders in 2005 in Santa Fe, New Mexico. They have three children, Henry, Molly and Ulysses.

Funeral services will be held at 11 o'clock Friday morning at Holy Rosary church. Milwaukee. Burial will be in Calvary cemetery, in this city, and will be private."

I will now only do Beto's second great grandfather and wife on the O'Rourke side. Bernard "Barney" O'Rourke was born 1830 in Glencar, County Leitrim, Ireland. He died 1896 in Nebraska. Below is his obituary.

"Barney O'Rourke, well known about here, and who owned a farm northeast of town, but who lived near Nebraska City, was last week returning from that city to his home, with another person, in a buggy, when, by the horses taking fright, or some other accident, they were thrown out. O'Rourke's collar-bone was broken, but it was thought that he was not otherwise hurt. However, he was undoubtedly injured internally, as he suddenly became worse, Friday, and died that evening. When the Rock Island road was being built through here, he operated a boarding car."

An article from 1892 about him.

"Bernard O'Rourke a former old and respected citizen of St. Joseph, but now of Talmage, Nebraska, made a very pleasant call at the Tribune office Wednesday on his way home from the Indian Nation, where he has been engaged all spring in the construction of a railroad. Mr. O'Rourke built and ran the Everett house on South Seventh street many years ago and looks as fresh today as he did then."

Barney's wife was Mary Anne McDermott born in Ohio 1848 and died in El Paso in 1923. From her obituaries.

"MRS. MARY A. O'ROURKE DIES WHILE VISITING HER SONS. Mary A. O’Rourke, 74 years old mother of J. F. and H. J. O’Rourke of El Paso, died Saturday at 1411 East Nevada Street. Mrs. O’Rourke arrived in El Paso last Monday from her home in Herington, Kan., for a visit with her sons. Besides her sons here, she is survived by two daughters in Herington, Mrs. Frank Connolly and Miss Alice O’­ Rourke; a son, B. J. O'Rourke, of Parsons. Kan., and a brother, P. J. McDermott of Liberal, Kansas. The body will be forwarded tonight to Harrington for burial by the J. J. Kaster & company."

"Mrs. Mary A. O'Rourke Dead. Mrs. O'Rourke is dead. This simple message, which passed from neighbor to neighbor and on through the town Saturday, brought a shade of sadness to the hearts of all who heard it, for this good woman who has lived among us for a number of years, had endeared herself to all by her simple kindnessm her consistent christian life, her charming personality and her cheeriness at all times. The children loved her, the young people enjoyed her the older friends trusted her and came for sympathy and understanding and her immediate family and friends adored her. Her passing leaves a place that cannot be filled, but her life among us leaves a pleasant memory of kindly service and unselfish devotion to family, friends and her religion, that is an inspiration to all and  will linger long after she has gone.  Mrs. O'Rourke left Herington about ten days ago to visit her brother at Liberal and two sons at El Paso, Texas, and was taken ill with pneumonia the second day of her visit there. Her daughter, Miss Alice went to her, arriving the day before her death and everything possible was done to save her for her family and friends but death claimed her on Saturday morning at eight forty-five. The body arrived in Herington Monday morning accompanied by her daughter and her two sons, H. J. and J. F. O'Rourke and their wives. The older son B. J. O'Rourke of Parsons and his son, Bernard, arrived Sunday afternoon, also Mrs. C. G. Stevenson of Pratt, Kansas, a niece. The brother, T. J. McDermott of Liberal. Kansas, was prevented from coming by sudden illness. Mrs. O'Rourke has made her home with her daughter, Mrs. F. P. Connolly for over five years and the funeral was from this home to St. John's Catholic church where a High Requiem mass was said with Father J. B. Glynn officiating. Prayers for the repose of her soul were offered by the ladies of the Altar society and the Knights of Columbus at the home Monday afternoon and evening. Interment was made at St. John's cemetery. Out of town relatives and friends were Mr. and Mrs. J. F. O'Rourke and Mr. and Mrs. H. J. O'Rourke of El Paso, Texas; B. J. and Bernard O'Rourk of Parsons, Kansas; Mr. and Mrs. C. G. Stevenson of Pratt, Kansas; Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Cole of Dalhart, Texas; Mrs. Jas. Gleason and Mr. and Mrs. J. P. McSteen of Kansas City, Missouri and Mrs. John Crowley of Pratt, Kansas. Mary Ann McDermott was born near Cleveland, Ohio, August 20th, 1848 and died at El Paso, Texas, January 27, 1923. She was married to Bernard O'Rourke at St. Joseph's cathedral, St. Joseph, Missouri, August 26, 1866. Nine children were born of this union, three of whom died in infancy and one son, Domino, died May 4, 1807, being killed while in railroad service. Mr. O'Rourke died at Talmage, Nebraska, August 26, 1896. The O'Rourke's lived at St. Joseph, Missouri, for many years coming west with the Rock Island Railroad as it built from that place. Mrs. O'Rourke leaves the following children: -  B. J. of Parsons, Kansas; ,J. F. and H. J. of El Paso, Texas; Miss. Alice and Mrs. F. P. Connolly of Herington, besides a brother, T. J. McDermott of Liberal, Kansas, and twelve grand children." Transcribed by Mary Cummins.

I may later post the maternal second great grandparents. For now the paternal side of the family is from Ireland, Wales, Kentucky, Missouri and Kansas. The maternal side of the family is from Georgia, Massachusetts, Canada and Wisconsin. The family history matches up perfectly with what Beto O'Rourke has said about his family tree. I've done the family trees and histories of other candidates and Beto is the only one who has been honest about his family history. Beto is a third generation Texan from El Paso.

Beto's wife Amy Hoover Sanders comes from an amazing family. They lived in Mexico and Texas. My family is from El Paso, Texas which is on the Mexican border. That's how my grandpa met my Nana. It was normal to go back and forth frequently over the border. Below is Amy's tree only to great grandparents. Amy's family is highly educated, successful and wealthy. They've been in Texas and Mexico for generations. One was a well known Texas Judge. They are from Germany and the US. They're also involved in a lot of philanthropy.

Who is Everitt Aaron Jameson, Everitt Jameson arrested for attempt to help ISIS? Family, history - Mary Cummins

Everitt Jameson, Everitt Aaron Jameson, ISIS, Gordon Jameson, father Gordon Dale Jameson, mother Kelly Jean Baker, wife Ashley Monett Jameson, children, Modesto, Stalinus, California jail, prison, army, military, bomb, kill, murder, donald trump, israel, islam, muslim, religion, mentally ill suicide

BREAKING STORY. CHECK BACK FOR UPDATES.

Everitt Aaron Jameson was born July 16, 1991 in Modesto, Stalinus, California. His father is Gordon Dale Jameson Jr born in Kern County, CA March 13 1946. His mother is Kelly Jean Baker. His wife is Ashley Monett Edinbyrd 25 years old. He has, had two children with Ashley. They are now divorced. Ashley is currently in Central California Women's Facility CDCR # WF7457 with earliest release date of August 2018. She may have a sister Amber Chevron Edinbyrd. The children were given up for adoption allegedly by the mother per the father. I see the family case is still open, children are in foster care. Everitt lived with his father. His father states Everitt would never harm anyone.

Below is the criminal complaint filed against him. There is "probable cause to believe Jameson has attempted to provide material support to a foreign terrorist organization in violation of 18 U.S.C. Section 2339B."

https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/4335714-FBI-Terrorism-Arrest-Complaint.html

If you read the above document, the undercover FBI person asked Everitt to write a statement about why he was going to do the terrorist act. Everitt did write that statement when asked December 18, 2017. Later on December 18, 2017 Everitt said he couldn't do the terrorist act. December 19, 2017 FBI got a search warrant. December 20 they executed the search warrant at Everitt and his father's home. There was a written statement written by Everitt which stated he will do these acts for Allah. He specifically said "You're allowed Donald J Trump to give away Al Quds to the Jews." By "you" he means the US. That sounds a little like entrapment. Did Everitt actually help ISIS? No. Still, he did offer to provide support to what he thought was a foreign terrorist organization. Had the undercover FBI not contacted him pretending to be a terrorist, would Everitt have hooked up with a real terrorst and offered them help? Who is to know. He did sign a will November 16, 2017. Dad did say he was having suicidal thoughts after losing his kids.

Below is the full letter Everitt wrote. Odd it's dated 12/16. The undercover FBI guy asked him to write it 12/18. He said he wrote it 12/18 but for some reason dated it 12/16.

"12-16-17
I Abdallah adu Everitt ibn Gordon have committed these acts upon the Kuffar, in the name of Dar a1 Islam, Allahu AKbarl- You all have brought this upon yourselves. There are no innocent Kuffar! Each and every Kuffar in this Nationalistic, Godless society has a hand in this. You?ve Allowed Donald Trump to give away Al Quds to the Jews. Both You and he are wrong, it belongs to the Muslemeen. We have penetrated and in?ltrated your disgusting country. These Acts will continue until the Lions of Islam overtake you. Turn to Allah, make tawbah and ?ght'with us, the soldiers who ?ght in the day and the night. Allah SWT is most forgiving, I am not. Long live Isil, Long Live Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi.
Allahu Akbar!

Abdallah abu Everitt ibn Gordon al-Amriki"

Below is Everitt Jameson's civil and criminal legal history. He was charged with petty theft but it was dismissed. He sued his mother for harassment and a restraining order in 2010. As he is listed as Everitt Sr I assume his son must be Everitt Jr. Here is his locked Facebook account.

I see another son with her Gordon D James born 1969. He worked for Standard Stations. He and his previous wife filed for bankruptcy in 2003. I think she was a teacher for the Merced school district.

Albert Torres of LA Salsa Fest obituary, June 14, 1956 - May 25, 2017 - Mary Cummins, Los Angeles, California

Albert Torres, LA Salsa Fest, obituary, 1956, 2017, died, death, funeral, grave, burial, mary cummins, los angeles, california, salsa, debbie torres, michael torres-velez, maya torres, wife, brother, sister, daughters, children, luis velez

Torres grew up between New York and Puerto Rico. Torres got his first break working on the set of the Mambo Kings, 1991, teaching Antonio Banderos how to Salsa. As a Hollywood choreographer, he would instruct actors such as Vanessa Williams, Jack Lemmon, and Walter Mathau in two of America’s most romantic films, Dance With Me (1993) and Out to Sea (1998). Everywhere there was Salsa, Torres seemed to be there. Albert Torres began producing dance and competition events in 1999.Torres was the creator of the Los Angeles Salsa Congress. He who brought to Los Angeles some of the most important names in Latin music such as Fania All-Stars, El Gran Combo, Oscar D'Leon, El Canario and the Spanish Harlem Orchestra, among others. He became the most influential salsa promoter in the United States. His untimely death came days before his 19th Annual LA Salsa Fest. The Festival celebrated the diversity of Afro/Latino rhythms and the unmistakable legacy it had brought to the world. The freedom of the dance and its unifying powers is what drove Torres to do what he did. And he did it well traveling to as many as 48 countries a year throwing conferences, contests, revolving around Salsa performances around the world. He had been sick for the last year. He became very ill May 22 and passed away on May 25, 2017 at the age of 60 in the hospital. He is survived by his mother Luisa Velez, sister Debbie, brother Michael Torres-Velez, ex-wife Maya, daughters, relatives and many friends.

Albert's mother, sister and brother came to LA for Salsa Fest. They were by his side in the end. Torres had been struggling with his health during the World Latin Dance Cup in 2016 in Miami. He was bed-ridden taking a break because of pain. He had a kidney infection. His doctor told him it's a matter of eating healthy and reducing stress. He was a workaholic.

By some accounts Albert was born in Vega Baja, Puerto Rico, USA. By others he was born in Brooklyn, New York. He attended Lino Padron Rivera high school in Vega Baja, Puerto Rico. He also attended UCLA. He was the founder and CEO of Albert Torres Productions.

Per November 22, 1998 LA Times articles he grew up in Williamsburg section of Brooklyn, New York. He never met his father who vanished into a heroin addiction. His mother remarried and they moved to North Carolina. The marriage lasted a year then Albert's mother moved back to Puerto Rico. He ultimately left Puerto Rico and moved to San Francisco in the '80's. He ended up selling drugs and boozing. Finally in 1985 he stopped drinking after joining AA. In 1994 he was working as the intake coordinator at the Exodus Drug and Rehabilitation Center at the Daniel Freeman Marina Hospital in Marina del Rey, California. He rekindled his love of Salsa and ended up on the set of 1992 "Mambo Kings." Then he blew it because of a gambling habit. He embezzled $32,000 from the center and was caught in 1994. He pled guilty in exchange for probation and community service. He ended up cleaning Venice beaches and promoting Salsa.

Below are some good articles about Albert and his life. There are some great articles in 1998, 2002 but I can't link them unless I use newspapers.com then only subscribers can read them. I added links. You can at least get a free preview.
