Lisa, The thing that helped me the most was Obit's - If you are able to Obtain an Obit on each of these people - U can Glean a Lot of Info from them & create a Chart of the Various Family members. also Obtaining a Death Cert can provide Parents Info a lot of times. Once U know Parents then U can Look them Up on the Census records circa 1880 - 1900. Try checking with the Newspaper Archives in those cities & see if U can obtain Obits. Also check with the Funeral Homes - they sometimes have Info that is helpful in their records .
