Help needed. I am trying to find information on my grandmother, Ethel Marie Persell Brink. The only information I have on her is her name and age as 21,on my father's birth certificate, April 10, 1917, born New Windsor, mailing address as P.O. Rock Tavern. We were in Newburgh the first couple weeks of October doing research and found nothing about her. We searched libraries, book after book, court houses, cemeteries, and genealogical societies, town clerk and village clerks, but still nothing. She died when dad was young and he was sent to live with an unrelated family and attended school at Yankee Lake, which I haven't searched yet. His father, Russell Brink Sr. was at home with his parents in the 1920 Orange census, but nothing on dad and his mother. Any suggestions on where to look, would be greatly appreciated. I live in Louisiana so it is not possible to search on the local level. I sent for marriage records for her and my grandfather but they only found one for his first! marriage, to Anna Owens in 1915. And when I sent for death records they searched 1924-1931 but found nothing. Thanks. Grace Brink Foster ray1@cp-tel.net
