Alice, join the club - geneaology is tough even if you know how and you know most of your relatives. Our families get separated quickly and go to all parts of the World. The only name that you mentioned that I am at all familiar with is "Woods", but I don't know a Velma Woods. There were some Woods who lived in the country around Tuckerman - Centerville community, etc. I'll check around and let you know if I see anything. I find myself looking in cemeteries a whole lot these days - not what I thought I would be doing!
