Have you looked at the census records to get a clue of their names? If you have an idea of their names you could look on the Pennsylvania marriage index to see if they married in PA. Also, did your mother have any siblings? If you know, tell us that. What was your mother's name... maiden surname and married surname, too? What does your mother's death certificate say? When did she pass away? It just seems like someone on the list could help you and I would be willing to try through the internet. It's possible that there's a tree on Ancestry.com. ~Blessings, Bev in Calif. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Carole Mason" <jebcam1990@aol.com> To: <FredandMaryFran@gmail.com>; <paallegh@rootsweb.com> Sent: Wednesday, January 08, 2014 8:32 AM Subject: Re: [ALL] Professional genealogist > Can anyone recommend a professional genealogist in your area.
