As Julie indicated, you don't present enough info to search. 1. She was youngest child, a great aunt, born in KY. Expand: "my grandmother " ", was born in " ", Bertha's other siblings were " ", her next oldest sibling " " was born in " ". Stephen and Martha were born in "KY"?, they moved to? or died in KY. Bertha's husband was "...Bradshaw", he died in "year", "place". Bertha and her husband had children """""""". Bertha possibly died around 1974, in "city", "area", of "Washington State" or did you mean "Washington D.C."? An obituary of my "grandmother" said Bertha was still living when she died? Or, was living in "city", Washington at that time. If Bertha was the last born and her next born sibling was born in 1898, she 'probably' was born between 1898 and say 5 years later. If the last was born in 1888, then that indicates earlier birth. If she died in 1974, where? Can you get her obituary? I found a Bertha Bradshaw WA Death Index 1982 Centralia-81, one 1986 Clarkston-age 74. The 1930 census for Klickitat, WA, finds a Bertha 29 married to a Samuel Bradshaw 42, son named Loyd (Lloyd?) age 6, He was born in Kentucky, but she was West Virginia...so are you Sure she was born in Kentucky?, or is that where most of the children were born? This Bertha was in Lewis County...so was the one in Centralia that died at 81 in 1982. Info, info, info. Ron
