Hi All, I just joined the list and desperately need some suggestions and help. I don't know where else to look and need some new avenues to try. My father's older brother Victor Lawrence Henry left TN back in the 1930's. He wrote home 2 times and in his letter's he said he had married, came home from work and found his wife dead and he had a daughter. Victor died in OR and until very recently it was believed he died in Portland, OR. (The funeral home notified my grandfather, but he never replied.) I just received a copy of Victor's death certificate and located a newspaper article about his death. Per the newspaper article it stated he had been a resident of San Francisco, CA. (Daddy only knew he had gone to CA) I do not know his wife's or daughter's names. Victor died July 3, 1939 and had been in OR a few weeks prior to his death. I believe his wife's family may have raised his daughter and his wife had died shortly before his leaving CA. I'm trying to locate his daughter. I'm quite sure no one ever learned of his death in CA. I know if it was me I would like to know what happened to my daddy. I believe his daughter was born bet. 1937-1939. any suggestions or help would be deeply appreciated. I've tried everything I can possible think of to locate her and I feel I'm close. I've got several of my branches back to the early 1700's, but this is harder. Thanks and good hunting to all. I hope everyone has a safe and good New Year. Patti
