Okay, what was the name of the person she was living with in 1900? She could have been married in 1910 (she would have been 14 and that was a marrying age back then). "Nikoli A. McCracken" <[email protected]> wrote: Oh, thanks! She was Edna G. Dunn/Dunne? She gave her age in the 1920 census as 24, which suggests 1896? as her birth date? She was found in 1900 living with a grandmother in Miss. She was a toddler then. So, by 1910, it would be unusual to be married yet! I have no idea of other info from her line.

That's the problem, I only know it was a grandmother. Come to think of it, though, the grandmother's last name could be Dunn, since the census lists a last name, and then persons residing with the person with the same last name. My grandmother has been most elusive. I know my paternal grandmother, and loved her dearly, all my life. I don't remember ever meeting my mother's mother. But my mother, who was pale blond haired and green-eyed, said her mother had coal-black hair, and cursed fluently in French when she was agry. I've checked with Cajun sites, but not, possibly, Creole? And my mother told of finding a picture of an Indian couple in an old trunk in the attic, and showed it to her mother, asking "Mom, who are these people?" Her mother boxed her ears and cursed in some more French. She went sniffling to her father, and asked again, and her father chuckled and said "Those are your grandparents, honey." All very confusing! I have super-curly dark brown hair and brown eyes, and have always wondered about the source of it. I had an Afro YEARS before they became fashionable. But, my skin is quite fair. So, who knows? My daughter has her grandmother's green eyes, and her other grandmother's auburn hair. My granddaughter also got green eyes, dark brown hair, my grandson is blonde and blue-eyed. And his wife is full-blood Navajo, so our family is "Pure" American - all mixed together. Their baby, my third gr.granddaughter looks purely Native American. Again, thanks, and any help would be wonderful. I now live on SS, am homebound, and just cannot afford Ancestry.com membership. Even when I had it, it always seemed as though the info I needed was just out of reach, always right beyond another demand for payment.

Okay. Let me do some looking on Heritage Quest - on it one can search by last name or first name. Company just came in so it may be tomorrow before I can get back to you. "Nikoli A.
