Her grandfather was Edward Burton Odem born about 1854 according to 1880 US census. Her father was Max E Odem but can find no proof of this. We have no record of birth. Can you help? or is this yet another dead end. I am also curious about why in the 1880 census Eddy appears 3 years old and Freddy 3 years old. Do you have any info about them. My mother in law is 70 years old and very curious about her father's family. Thank you in advance for any information you may have to help.
