    3. Hi Charlie, I am in search of information on my great grandmother and her ancestors. My great grandmother was Zidnia Miller - she went by Daisy. Daisy's death certificate says she was born 7 May 1876 in Pennsylvania and her parents were: Joseph Miller, born in Pennsylvania and ? (I cannot read the writing) Carpenter also born in Pennsylvania. Daisy married William Fry/Frey and had a daughter named Lulu (Leona) Wilhemina Fry/Frey. The reason I am writing to you is that the coincidence between the names you are working on and this grandfather and granddaughter was too coincidental for me not to contact you. If you think there is a connection or could offer assistance in my search I would love to hear from you. Thanks!
