I have heard from one person who quite by my own mistake is searching for both the Nester /Nestor and Blackburns. and I am waiting for him to answer me again, he is traveling right now. You see, the part of the country is sometimes very important, we all have immigrated, but back then I think most of the related families stayed close to one area. Hazel, Floyd and Ruby do sound familier to me but they also are common names as opposed to Rebecca, and even Rebecca back then was common (Names out of the Bible) Anyway that is why I ask what part of the USA did they live? Also the work they did is important. Start with where they lived if you can. Good luck to you. Try the Family Search site ran by The Saints of Latter Day Saints, they have loads of information. Good luck, Ramona
