Sweetheart, I was where you are many years ago, so I,too, felt helpless. There are ways ( but I'm not an expert). I don't know if there is a LDS church near where you live to go to, but they help others with the search. Run your name through all the last names that connect with these persons on different search engines. Lots of people have family trees that they have on line. Get lists of different members of tribes with the help of the added message on your last mail. They are wonderful!!! Have in mind that your relatives had other names years ago with the change would have come slowly as the 'white wave' came across America. There are genealogy clubs and state clubs, church lists, county records, and ,very important, have a list page of your folks, beginning with you, then two by two by two into infinity!!!!**** Make it fun, consider it's importance to you, the kids, and their families that will live after them. And Daddy said to me ,"Whatever you are, be proud and thankful!" If you can't find a genealogy paper, make one. Julia Anne Kirby Kidd
