Help, I have been trying to find my aunt and the trail has come to a dead end. I need your suggestion's as to where I should go from here. First of all my aunt Lizzie b. 1900 in Tn. , my dad, & 2 other sibling's was placed in a orphanage in Atlanta in 1914. My aunt Lizzie married in 1916 and I found her marriage cert. in Douglas Co. Ga. On the 1920 census she had a son named Lee b. 1917. Between 1920 & 1925 my aunt her husband Reese & son Lee moved to Carroll Co. Ga. The grave was located on her husband Reese and his 2nd wife. Plus there was a tombstone that had "The Three children of Mr. & Mrs Reese Smith near Reese's tombstone. No name's of the children. There was no obit that could be located on Reese or children. Neighbors was loctaed that remembered Reese & Reese's stepmom. According to the neighbors Reese's stepmom said that the children were by Reese & Lizzie and they died from diptheria. This happened between 1920 & 1925, in looking through the newspapers the following was found... In july 1925, an announcement of a divorce of Reese and Lizzie Smith. Here it is - Petition for Divorce Reese Smith vs. Lizzie Smith in Carroll Superior Court, October Term 1925 To the Defendant, Lizzie Smith: The plaintiff, Reese Smith, having filed his petition for divorce, returnable to the October term 1925 of the Court, and it appearing that Lizzie Smith is not a resident of said county, and also that she does not reside within the State, and an order having been made for service on her, Lizzie Smith, by publication, this, therefore, is to notify you, Lizzie Smith, to be and appear at the next term of Carroll Superior Court to be held on the first Monday in October, 1925, then and there to answer this complaint.

This, Oct. 4th, 1926 C.E.Roop, Judge, Superior Court C.C. Where do I go from here , It was rumored that my aunt may have went to Alabama. But where she had no family to go to, she would have been 25 years old. Please someone tell me what to do from here, I do not know what day & month my aunt was using as her birthdate only the year. The orphanage did not know any of the children's true birthdate's. In the case of my father his birth month & day was the 1st day he arrived at his foster home. As for the year he was born it was guessed as 1909 by the orphanage, I have it all on record. Is it possible my aunt could still marry someone even though she was denied the right to remarry by the Carroll Co. court. ( but did she ever know this). She had a "very rough life" in and out of foster homes before marrying Reese then losing her children on top of that, did this push my aunt over the edge and she just wandered off. Please tell me what and where to go from here in locating her. Pat
