Posted on: HOLMES Queries Reply Here: http://genconnect.rootsweb.com/gc/surnames/h/o/HOLMES/queries/87 Surname: HOLMES ------------------------- I took a peek at the SSDI (Social Security Death Index) and located an Elmer Holmes whose SS number was issued in Iowa... DOB 11/9/1893, DOD 6/1981 in Bradenton, Florida. Then there was a Hazel Holmes DOB 11/2/1903, DOD 3/27/1989 in St. Louis, Missouri. These dates do somewhat correspond with the dates you have provided for the information on Barbara. You can request their personal records from Social Security. Also, you may wish to check out the probate records for both individuals to see if they had an estate... this would have included the names of the heirs. Good Luck in your search.
