Lynn, To answer your first question we do not know my grandmothers name,she was adopted in the early 1920's by a family named Chaney. But I feel strongly that there has got to be decendents ofher family around. And I am trying to find pieces to the puzzle. Now to the little girl, yes we would be related,not directly but are related. The Stracener family is realitivley small approx .3500 that I have researched ,and came from the same family. Thankyou for your responce, Richard Stracener
