Gildie, Thanks for all the info. Correction to the info you got on Lillian Lavinna and Vianna. Lillian Lavinna was my great grandmother's sister, whom the family called, "Aunt Vin". My great grandmother is the one you refer to as, "Vianna", which was not her name. Her name was Vina, but my great grandfather called her Viney. Two "Vin's" in the same family can get to be confusing, but there was no "Vianna" in the family. The sister you refer to as Vianna was named Vina. I hope this isn't clear as mud now.
