It's kind if a long story but I'll do my best. I just recently started doing this genealogy thing. My grandmother had a somewhat tough life not to close of a family. She is a twin and has one older sister and one older brother. Their mother (my great grandmother) was Sylvia Maines, well her maiden was Maines. She too was a twin her twin was Golda Maines I just tracked her down I guess her married name became Ault. They were born in Missourie in 1898. They had a brother Clarence Maines born in MO Their mothers maiden was listed as MC Clain on the SS index. Clarence had a son he died i think around ten years ago he named his son Theodore. Sylvia my great grandmother was admittedly flakey she died before I was born. My grandmother could never be certain that she was told the truth but the rumor was that Clarence, Sylvia, and Golda's mother died during childbirth. Golda Ault is on an ancestry family tree. Clarence maines mother maiden l! isted as McClain is on the SS index. Sylvia Maines's married name is Bonner she is on the SS too. I am trying to figure out who their parents were. In my research I keep running into St. Joseph Buchanan MO and Nodoway MO. If any of this sounds remotely familiar could you let me know? Thanks, Tracy Renner
