Deb, Tom, Diane etc. Thanks for the suggestions. Well, I am back to square one too.! I did find Florian Kula and wife Margretta in the census.......which could have been reduced to Loren and Gertie! I looked in Platte Co., then extended the search,looking for Vera, but even Veronica did not get a hit. I must say also, that the given names were so butchered too, don't know whether to blame the census takers, or the transcribers! I may be missing her given name because of that. I was hoping that someone in that extended family was doing research. I would really like to put Vera to rest, as in finding her parents, and her death place especially. Also siblings, which I know she must have had. I know what her years were like in between.!!!!!! I want to know that she was given a proper burial etc. Everytime I look at her picture, I expect her to tell me something. I am finding so many loose ends in some families that I realize that I could do another 20 years of research. And many people are just starting out and want help.
