I am doing a tree of my wife's family and a lot of problems are with girls who have the family name, then marry. They just disappear. In my wife's family, the sister of her father, I found in his obit, listing her new last name and where she lived in 1958. I never had any success (in tracking her down) until last year. In talking with a sister of my wife, the person I was searching for was buried in a cemetery less than five miles from our current home. Not only that, she was buried with her husband and, in the same cemetery, was her daughter. A son moved to Maryland and he is the one I am trying to track down now. Anyway, as in the case above, the more questions you ask of different people, something usually pops up. Good luck in your search.
