Do have a copy of her death certificate? The record may have the names of her parents. Pay attention to who was the informant of the data on the death cert. That data is only as good as the informants knowledge and memory. Do you know where Rilda Brown and Frank Goss were married? You need to find the marriage record, it should have the names of both their parents. Have you located her in any census after her marriage, and is there a list of children? Do you know who was there first child? When and where they were born? This can indicate when and where to find the marriage record. Start with finding her death record, once you have the names of her parents, you can search further back. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
