Whoa! My grandmother was named Bertha DEAN...however the timing is not correct. I KNOW that she was born 1901 in Southern Missouri or Kansas to the elusive William ?Wilton? DEAN. Does this William DEAN show up in any of your records? Perhaps my g.mother was named after this Bertha. Since my g.mother was never able to get a birth certificate because of no documentation, even though this is a long shot...worth the effort. Gertrude "Tomy" CHANDLER was married to William DEAN and believe divorced (never proven) because Gertrude re-married a preacher. Any chance you have the name William DEAN and give me a direction?
