The youngest could have been born around 1936, making him or her 75 yrs old now. The children may of course have been born much earlier than 1936, making tham older than 75yrs and less likely to be alive today. It could be that your family knew little of the family as Ada may have been young enough to re-marry and lost contact with your relatives. So many options, it may help if you let us know the names of the children and any dates you may have. -- Cheers Peter -- To send to the list send to glamorgan@rootsweb.com GLAMORGAN Family History Mailing List archives etc. are at http://lists.rootsweb.com/index/intl/WLS/GLAMORGAN.html - A large amount of information, and a wide variety of useful links, may be found at http://www.genuki.org.uk/big/wal/GLA/ - The South/West Wales Lookup Exchange and Gareth's Help Pages http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~walesle/wal/AW.html and http://home.clara.net/tirbach/hicks.html ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to GLAMORGAN-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message
