I happen to be in Texas, from Delaware, to attend brother-in-law's funeral. I need something to occupy my free time and this is perfect. Their children: Charlie(1900), Albert(1902), Elizabeth(1905), Alice May(1908), Gertrude(1911), and Anna Louise(1914). That pilotsearch url is a "handy-dandy" tool! It can be expanded by clicking "Advanced Search". That enables searches utilizing the names of parents. Do that and input Blanche Ford as the mother. Use the pulldown tab under "Event" to display Death/Burial. Enter Texas, United States in the "Location" then click search. View death certificates for Alice May Marks (17 Nov 1907 - 17 Apr 1911), Anna Louise Cooper (17 Dec 1913 - 7 Jul 1972), and Gertrude Stoltz (10 May 1911 - 3 Oct 1959). I'm just getting started!!! In 1900, Blanche's mother had given birth to eleven and nine were still alive. You might be living next door to cousins? Reasonably certain of my research. Gertrude was a carho! p in 1930 Galveston. She had been married approximately two years and given birth to Walter Carroll Carter Jr. That census confirms Ohio as her mother's birthplace. I did not find a family tree or any records saved by someone else. Should you be inclined, start a family tree? Oh! Patience is not one of my virtues! Please respond as promptly as possible? I try to help everyone and focus on those who respond. Time is very precious. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
