I did not know the information about the DMF. I found the 1900 Census entry that you posted in your reply and had tossed that around in my mind before posting on the boards. I agree with your thoughts on this. What is not showing up are the names of the children we knew in our childhood, PATSY WOODS, CHARLOTTE WOODS, AND JACKIE WOODS (male) all siblings as best I can recall and per obituary. I have black & white photos of the girls but none of Jackie so I do know that lived for some time. Also, some or all of these children could still be living which naturally means we will not have an easy time locating any of the girls due possible marriages. As for their brother Jackie, I have tried to locate him as well but there are so many, and there is very little way to determine if the person is male or female, that it will be along time before I will have a conclusion. Thanks again, Gloria Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
