I have been trying for a few years now trying to locate information on a ETHEL SARAH VEST or possibly SARAH ETHEL. Ethel was born about 1910 in Virginia, then married a Paul Rossi Slay, probably about 1930. Paul was born 1902 MS.They lived in Washington DC until Paul went into the military 1942. He stated he was single no dependents. We know they had a daughter born 1934, who was raised in a children's home in DC., put there about the age of 7-9. According to that child’s birth record there was a previous child but no knowledge about that one. We do no know if they married in DC or possibly VA. I had a search done in DC with no results. These people are the grandparents of my stepchildren. They know nothing of their mother or their mothers family which is very sad. The one thing they do know is their grandfather Paul worked on a fishing vessel out of Tampa FL where he was washed overboard in a storm in May 1965, body never found. We would love to know something about Ethel. Any clues would be greatly appreciated. Paula
