Hi, everyone.... I received the following obituary containing a reference to a Lovelace, and I wondered if any of you can connect to any of the familie here and might be able to supply me with some connection somewhere in the obit, not just for the Lovelace. I tried the Beam online family tree, which I have been unable to access for some reason. Any help would be appreciated.
