My father was born in June, 1921. He graduated in 1930 or 1940 (probably 40). In 1940 he lived at Solvey St, Detroit, Wayne County, Michigan, ward 18, block 4.

How can I find which schools were in existence at that time and place so I can find his yearbook?

    You could request an free online Research Consultation with the Family History Library. They last 20 minutes and you would be matched to an expert in the area of your request.

    Here is a link to book a session or there is a link on the right hand side of the Community pages under Quick Links: https://go.oncehub.com/ResearchStrategySession

    I hope this helps!

    WOW! I am sure that is him. He was Lutheram and a florist. I'm on my way to search out the southwestern school. Hopefully I'll be able to find a yearbook. Thanks. If you stumble on anything more please send it my way.
