Surname: Northam
DH: Joseph William (b. 1880, d. 1934)
DW: Grace Elizabeth (b. 1882, d. 1934)
Joseph's business took a turn for the worse during the Depression, and in 1933 he suffered a severe anxiety attack that led to heart failure. He never recovered, and in 1934 he passed away. Tragically, Grace followed not too long after; everyone thought it was from a broken heart.
DS: Jack William (b. 1900) [35]

----DD: Stella Marie (b. 1919) [16]
----DD: Emily Anne (b. 1921) [14]
----DS: Isaac Joseph (b. 1922) [13]
Jack took over his father's business after Joseph passed away. Times were tough, but he gave his eldest son, Leo, a job as a dockworker. Leo was appreciative, since he had just married his high school sweetheart Alice and was expecting his first child with her. Their daughter Elizabeth, named after Grace, was born in 1935.
DS: James Alexander (b. 1901) [34]

----DS: Ezra Philip (b. 1927) [8]
----DS: Jude Walter (b. 1928) [7]
There wasn't much work at James' law firm, so he was laid off. He began picking up odd jobs to support his family, mostly in construction and public works, but still was only barely ends meet.

----DS: Jasper Gerard (b. 1932) [3]
David and Antonia welcomed their fourth child, a son named they named Jasper, in 1932. Given the state of the economy, they were worried about having another mouth to feed, but Jasper brought so much joy to the family they couldn't imagine not having him in their lives. When Hitler became chancellor of Germany in 1933, David and Antonia recognized that they couldn't safely stay in Paris for much longer, so they moved to London.
DS: Benjamin Robert (b. 1907) [28]
--DW: Ramona Lynn Ashmont (b. 1906) [29]
----DS: Benjamin Robert, Jr. "Robby" (b. 1933) [2]
