Did Lillian Gish have a brother?

Answer 1

My mother's birth name is Yvonne Olive Gish born in Los Angeles, Ca in 1925. Her father was Jerry Gish, born in South Dakota, no town is denoted. My mother claimed Lillian and Dorothy Gish were my great aunts, half sister's to Jerry Gish. My mother sang for big bands in the forties but I don't know her stage name. I have a picture of her with the Dorothy Leonard Band. In 1984, I wrote Lillian Gish for and inquiry as to the validity of my mother's claim to familial relationship. The answer I got back was in no uncertain terms, I was absolutely not related to the Gish sisters. However, Jerry Gish, my Grandfather lived his live very much like Lillian Gish's father. He traveled the world and have numerous wives, 13 was the last count.
