Hello Again: Don't give up Sue! Unless, you don't feel that sensation of being pushed by someone. I have that, I might take time off, a week or a month but, always come back because of the pushing in that direction. OK, if, Alanzo's parents came from another country try looking up immigration documents. Was, Alanzo born in this country??? Does the certificate give the mother's maiden name??? Try going to ancestry for that country and looking up her maiden name and that should help. I found out my grandfather was born in England, he came here in 1914, I found out. I was able to go back as far as the 1600s with the "Hare" side of the family. I'm more concerned with finding out my greatgrand mother's name first and maiden, she died when my grandma was 3. There, is more than just a name in this, I truly believe my grandma is trying to give me something I need so badly.............a family. So, I wish you luck........... If u send me the names and what country they came from I might be able to help you some. Good luck Liz
