Hi, Michael, I find your use of "remarried" confusing. Do you mean that William Ryan was married to Minerva Galloway, divorced her, married Sally Barnhart, dovorced her, married Minvera Galloway again -- and where does Indiana Galloway fit into this? Or do you mean that William Ryan married: . (1) Sally Barnhart, marriage ended in divorce . (2) Minerva Galloway, marriage ended with her death . (3) Indiana Galloway, marriage ended with his death?
