Yes, Thank you Sheldon, my grandmother Minnie Sanders Gaither married Herman Moore and had two daughters by him. My mother would never go to my grandmother's house if her husband, Dugan was at home he wasn't a pleasant person. I am updating my grandmothers family chart and also sending the information to that side of family, I never tried to get the Moore line since not kin but was helping with a cousin from that marriage so will forward to them. I had been told by my dad's half sister my Aunt Pauline Lasley, some of this about her father, I loved and very close to my aunt and we wrote regularly no matter where we lived all over. It was so good to keep up with my family's news when I lived all over with husband being career Air Force.
