George Schultz is my father. He was born in Detroit during
the early-thirties to Bernard Carl Schultz and Katherine
Dolores VilleMonte. His only sibling is a younger sister,
Diane Schultz - later Diane DuJardin. As what appears to be
the custom on that side of the family -- most go by their
middle name. His mother went by Dolores or Dolly to close
family. I was 46 years old (putting together the previous
version of this site) before I even knew her name was
Katherine. My father (less often these days) goes by the
name Duane to family, and his sister goes by the name Dee.
This even bleeds over to my father's cousins. Paul Gerald
VilleMonte went by Jerry (Uncle Jerry to me) to family and
his brother Uncle Dale -- has the real name of Robert.
My father's parents
divorced when they were very young and their mother raised
him and his sister. I know far less about this side of my
family, but I do know that my father would often stay with
his VilleMonte Grandparents. I know his Grandfather Schultz
died as a young man, long before my father was born, and he
did not spend as near as much time with the Schultz side of
the family. I know very little about them. His Grandfather
VilleMonte, and after he had died, his Uncle Paul (the
previously mentioned cousins Jerry and Dale's father) and
Aunt Gen (VilleMonte) would take him to their cabin on the
lake during the summers -- and this is how he met my mother.
They married when she finished high school and he completed
his contract with the Navy. They separated in 1972, while I
was in the Air Force, and divorced.
The Below links will take you to memories my father has of
some of my ancestors. Maybe I can talk him into also putting
together his memories of his aunts and uncles -- as it is
harder for me to get ancestor information from relatives on
that side of my family.
