Posted on: Carter County, Ok Query Forum Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Ok/Carter/1262 Surname: ------------------------- thank you. I now know that my grandpa had siblings. just discovered that Ida's parents were Joseph Beard and Sara Saphronia Holbrook. Could this be part of the connection? I am trying to make a family tree for my father. He remembers living in Ardmore, but grew up in Gainesville, Texas, where most of his family still resides. Thanks again Dianna
