Mark: Your information throws me because it sounds confusing; however, why don't you ask Constance for a start as to her parents' and grandparents' names? If she died, her death certificate will list her parents; without knowing at least that basic information, you will be at a stale mate. Also, for those of us who only use the digest form of Rootsweb, it is best to show the name of the ancestor you are searching or the place in which they lived rather than just "Searching for Powells", etc. Jo-Ann Seitzinger
