Thank you to 'Teresa" and "Dr. Ken", also to Ann who resp' off line. The main problem I have is Not knowing her parents' surname(s). You gave me two ideas I had not thot' about..altho' if she left the convent yrs. ago then she's 'out there somewhere' with her original name(s).>:) Next will go to Iron Mtn. and start thru' the school annuals and more letters to the Ed. of the I.M and Kingford newspaper. I was hoping that some soul in Knox Co. might have kept in touch her. A Great Group of genie's you all are!!
