Nadine, Thank you for the information you sent re. Gooden. I am sorry I have waited so long to respond. You response came in on my laptop and I left it at my home last week when I left to go where I live and work during the week. This was a nice surprise when I returned this weekend. Thank you so very much. Lum Gooden is too young as he was would be 11 years old when Laura Etta was born. I did find her mother was Mary Russ that married Christopher Gooden. That gave me the clue that will help.
