NANCY LIVINA HARMON BROWN WAS MY GRANDMOTHER . I WISH I KNEW WHO SHE WAS AND ANY INFO ON HER. I DO KNOW MY MOTHER EDNA BELLE BROWN WAS A DAUGHTER OF NANCY. MY MOTHER DID NOT RAISE ME AND NO ONE EVER TOLD ME ABOUT MY PAST RELATIVES. IN 1975 I FOUND MY MOTHER IN A HOSPITAL IN PEORIA WITH A BROKEN HIP AND I BROUGHT HER HOME TO STAY WITH ME. ANY WAY SHE PASSED AWAY AT 93 YEARS OLD IN THE 90'S. ALL THIS TIME SHE WOULD NOT TALK OF THE PAST OR WHO HER FAMILY WAS. SHE WAS MARRIED TO MY DAD CLARENCE MARING, BUT THEY DIVORCED IN 1937 WHEN I WAS 6 MONTHS OLD. IF YOU EVER DO FIND OUT LET ME KNOW.
