Several possibilities for finding out more info on Michael James Griffin: find the names of high schools in the hometown and contact them to request the name of their director of the alumni association. If the person on the phone at the school seems cooperative, they might even check records for you when they have time. Also, the school library usually keeps copies of old yearbooks which could be checked for the years of about 1954-58 when he would have been a student. A message left for the school librarian could get them interested enough to check this out for you. This might produce a photo, or even the name of a sibling who could be contacted. Many alumni groups now have Facebook pages and a request for information on this person could be posted on there, just in case a former classmate might see it and respond. Beyond that, churches in the area could be checked for Baptismal records, etc. They may or may not allow this information to be given out, but an explanation for why you are seeking the information might convince them to help. Just a few thoughts, these things may have already been done, but just in case......
