Hi Joyce, I owe you a long overdue "Thank You" for the information you gave me about the Railroad Retirement Board. I received a treasure trove of information. When the Railroad Retirement plan went into effect in 1936 or 1937, my father had to submit information which included information about his parents. It's the only place I've been able to find documentation of my grandmother's correct name. She was so extensively known by her nickname, Maggie, that even in her obituary and on her Death certificate her name is given as Maggie. My Dad had given her full maiden name. There was a copy of my parents' marriage license, better than the one I received from the Bureau Of Vital statistics. My father's work and pay records are there from the time he was hired in 1924 as a 17 year old electrician's helper, became an apprentice and eventually an electrician and worked for the L & N RR for 31 years until his death in 1959. Because my mother drew widow's benefits there is information about her 2nd marriage and subsequent divorce. If anyone had a relative who worked for a railroad after 1936 or 1937, it's really worth while to get their records from the Railroad Retirement Board. Thanks so much for that information, Joy in FL ----- Original Message ----- From: joenash82@comcast.net<mailto:joenash82@comcast.net> To: MichelleHerbison@yahoo.com<mailto:MichelleHerbison@yahoo.com> ; tndickso@rootsweb.com<mailto:tndickso@rootsweb.com> Sent: Sunday, October 29, 2006 12:50 PM Subject: Re: [TNDICKSO] Joyce In MI Hi Michelle, I am still here.
