Mike, I was just referring to her as your aunt Heloise McInnes who was born with the surname Scott-Williams. I don't know that this is she, but if I had to bet on it, I'd bet that it is.... Will post this to the Florida list in the hope Renee will see the thank-you and/or that someone else will know or can suggest something else. I'll order the death certificate today. Good luck! --Brian *********************************** pix wrote: > > Hi Brian. > Thank you ever so much for your most welcome response. > When I mentioned I had been looking for this connection for forty years I > wasn't joking!
