Barry's father was Alfred Thomas Rhodes. His mother was Annie Parker
Barry married Adelaide D Haas on June 23 1950 in Hempstead NY.
In the 1940 federal census, Barry was living with his parents, Alfred and Anna (sic) and siblings Peter (19) and Fay (9) in Hempstead, Nassau, New York. He had completed high school. Both of his parents had been born in England - all 3 children were born in NY
(However, a 1925 ship record stated that Annie, Barry, and Peter arrived in NY on the ship Samaria from the UK - but Barry, 4 yrs old, had been born in the US)
On his WW2 registration card he was living in Baldwin, Nassau, NY and working at Liberty Aircraft Products Corps and his next of kin was Nancy Rhodes, living at his address. He was 5'8" , 140 lbs, had a light complexion, brown hair, and brown eyes.

I'm a Founder of AncientFaces and support the community answering questions & helping members make connections to the past (thus my official title of Founder & Content and Community Support ). For me, it's been a labor of love for over 20 years. I truly believe with all of my heart that everyone should be remembered for generations to come.
I am 2nd generation San Jose and have seen a lot of changes in the area while growing up. We used to be known as the "Valley of Heart's Delight" (because the Valley was covered with orchards and there were many canneries to process the food grown here, which shipped all over the US) - now we have adopted the nickname "Capital of Silicon Valley" and Apple, Ebay, Adobe, Netflix, Facebook, and many more tech companies are within a few miles of my current home in San Jose (including AncientFaces). From a small town of 25,000, we have grown to 1 million plus. And when you add in all of the communities surrounding us (for instance, Saratoga, where I attended high school, living a block from our previous Mayor), we are truly one of the big cities in the US. I am so very proud of my hometown. For more information see Kathy - Founder & Content and Community Director My family began AncientFaces because we believe that unique photos and stories that show who people are/were should be shared with the world.
