> Hello. Thanks so much for your email. I really appreciate it. I think the > woman listed as Louisa Dunham may be my great-grandmother. We knew her as > Louise. She was from Berlin (the Beckley section) and was born in 1857. I > don't have her birthdate. She married E. Ferdinand Dunham of Main St., > Portland, Ct. and had one daughter, my grandmother, Grace (she died in 1918 > from the flu). Louise lived until 1943 and died at the Middlesex Hospital in > Middletown. I have been trying to find information on her and her family for > years and always come to a dead end. I can't locate her or her parents or > brothers. Her brothers were in the Civil War. Hi, Janet.. have you tried following up on the brothers' military records? NARA should have them and there's always a chance that the records might provide a clue to the parents.
