Hello KYJP list, I need your help. I'm running into dead ends with my KYJP maternal line. I'd always been told that my great grandma was Mary Retta NANNY. (However, I HAD to upset the apple cart and reveal that NANNY was, in all likelyhood, the step mother of my grandmother, Pearl Ruth OUTLAND and that her natural mother was a woman named Elizabeth, whose surname I don't know.) In 1900 John David OUTLAND was living with his wife ELIZABETH and their one child, Pearl Ruth OUTLAND. However in 1910 John David OUTLAND was living with Mary Retta NANNY, and they more children. I considered, briefly, that they were the same woman and that perhaps Mary or Retta was a nickname for Elizabeth, however, the birth years ruled that out. I suspect that Elizabeth died very early, John David remarried, and that Mary Retta raised the children as her own. Mary Retta had a major role in the childrens lives, and I have chosen to research both women.
