Can anyone help this gentleman? I was informed that I have a grndmother or grandfather with the last name of barlow. My mothers name is Linda Joyce Wood and she lives here in Milwaukee Wisconsin, She was born in Ill. I wanted to do some family tree research, I am not close to my mother so it is hard to get any information from her. Thank You James Alexander james_alexander37@yahoo.com James, this is really not enough information to go on? Do you have any dates for us...ie...her birthyear....about, and where in Illinois. We need, perhaps, your mothers full name with maiden name, and when and whom she married? If they are not old enough to be in a 1930 census, then it will be almost impossible to find any information on them..does your mother have relatives you can speak too? Perhaps it is time for you and 'Mom' to make up before it is too late. Get that information on paper while she is still alive so that your children will know their heritage. Susan
