Cousins, A friend who was not raised by her parents and knows nothing about her ancestors is trying desperately to begin finding them. She only knows the names of her parents, Edward Gene EDMUND(b. ca 1892, MO), and Nora/Nona Louise COLLINS EDMUND (b. ca 1905-6, AR). Her mother, Nora/Nona, said she was born in Little Rock. They married around 1922, and it is thought they married in Arkansas, but I have no idea where, and apparently there is no state index. If any of you have time to check the marriage index in your county, it would be much appreciated!! We can not find an EDMUND family in MO at all, but have narrowed her mother's family down to two families - there was a third possibility in Washington county, but investigation proved those nice people not to be her kin. The two possibilities are in Carroll and Pulaski counties (1920 census info below) - if any of you can shed any light on either of them, either to encourage looking at them further, or to rule them out, it would be very much appreciated by both of us - this brick wall in this century is very frustrating and disheartening!!!!! A COLLINS family moved from NC to AR in or around 1905. In 1910 and 1920, they were living in Carroll county: 1920 Arkansas Census, Carroll County, Volume 6, ED 62, Sheet 5, Line 88 Colllins, William J., 45, born in NC Dora E., 33, wife,born in NC Jettie A., 15, daughter, born in NC Nora L., 13, daughter, born in AR Walter G. 10, son, born in AR John W., 8, son, born in AR William A., 5, son, born in AR Jesse A., 3 6/12, daughter, born in AR Also, in 1920 there was a COLLINS family in Pulaski county that had been in AR for at least a generation - Pulaski County, 912 Allis Street, Little Rock; Volume 54, ED 145, Sheet 2, Line 92 Collins, John, 62, born in AR, father in MI, mother in MI Norrie, 41, wife, born in AR, father in MI, mother in TN Lucile, 19, daughter, born in AR, father in AR, mother in AR John Jr., 18, son, born in AR, father in AR, mother in AR M/Nona, 16, daughter, born in AR, father in AR, mother in AR Avanelle, 14, daughter, born in AR, father in AR, mother in AR Herbert, 10, son, born in AR, father in AR, mother in AR Anna Beth, 8, daughter, born in AR, father in AR, mother in AR THANK YOU for assistance, thoughts, connections, or anything!!!
