Hello listers I am in England and have little knowledge of researching in the US although I have traced my family in Kings with the help of listers in the past. Now I have a difficult one that I desperately need to find. A little girl called Mable PATTERSON was living with Rebecca Talbot PERKINS and her family in 1920. She was referred to as "Ward". Her year of birth would be approximately 1906. I've had friends look at the 1910 census and there is a Mabel PATTERSON living with a family of PATTERSONs including, I believe, an unmarried mother Mabel! This, I hope, is the Mable I am looking for. I would dearly love to make contact with anyone who knew this family of PATTERSONs as I have to come to the US next year for a very important function. I know it's not rootsweb policy to give information of living people but if someone could point me in the right direction I would be very pleased. How can I find who Mable PATTERSON married? I imagine I would have to find out her married name to find her Social Security Number and therefore her Death details...She'd be over 100 now if she was still alive. Oh, I forgot...she was born in Kings! Thank you so much for any help you can give me. I will eventually be able to tell you what this is all about...and it is very interesting so please help.

I accept that it's been Thanksgiving but after more than a week I would have thought I should have been subscribed by now. Does anyone know what's happened to the Admin for that list. I have even tried emailing the Rootsweb Helpdesk to no avail.
