I am amazed, I never thought I would find anyone else working on the family as I have been at this for almost 2 years now. I posted one other notice back in 2000- I think. This is actually my husband's family. We have been researching and had even put in a request to a lady in Ontario Canada to locate a birth record for MeLinda, but none could be found. But at the time we were not all sure of the information that we had either. My husband was just 5 years old when his grandmother passed away in 1956. You may use our email address to email with if you'd like. It is sausha@uci.net. We are just about 8 months away from finishing Ken's Grandfather's side of the family. So anything to get us started on Melinda or Malinda's would be great! By the way which is the correct spelling do you know? Thank you so much for responding! We are truly delighted to hear this news!
