Years ago when I tried to wrest information from my 85 year-old uncle (whom I adored), he got weary of my questions and simply said, "We didn't talk about family things, so I don't know!" I found out from my Dad's cousin that when my great grandmother, Hattie A. Price, died, the family cleaned all of the papers out of her house and built a huge bonfire and just burned everything! Made me absolutely heartsick! There must have been some social prohibition about speaking about one's family. I just don't know. It took me approximately 25 years to discover the maiden name of my paternal great, great grandmother (Upton). Good luck with your searching! Kay
