Kay Walker

Born in San Francisco and still live here - a mother of two and grandmother of three. I am a retired social worker with a BA plus a year from SFSU. I also worked as an elected officer of SEIU and a paid organizer for Local 21 IFPTE - both local to SF. My maiden name was Karpus and I often go by the name of Kay Karpus Walker. I am interested in finding information about the Unruh and Damon families. My grandfather was Jacob B. Unruh and married my grandmother about 1907 - then Catherine Damon. Catherine Damon's mother was Juliana Weissig and her father was naturalized as Henry Damon after the 1906 earthquake. Jacob Unruh's father was allegedly Benjamin Unruh and mother was Eva Nickels who lived in Newton Kansas but were born in Russia - now the Ukraine. They were Mennonites. I need to confirm that this couple were really Jacob B Unruh's parents. There is direct evidence that Jacob B. Unruh and his family immigrated to and lived in Newton Kansas'
