We are trying to find out more about her parents James Kerr and Iva E. Carter. James is said to be from Kerrville, Texas and Iva from Tennessee, but we can't get them from beyond what we already have in Oregon. >From the Oregon State Archives I found Iva committed in 1918 and 1830 and apperently died in custody of the mental institute in 1920. My SIL is going to order those records and see what she gets. I spent a couple of hours yesterday going through the cemetery listing at the suggested site, I really appreciate the efforts that dedicated researchers put into surveying cemeteries and posting the information! Thanks, Peggy
