Hi William, Unless you're really lucky, and someone who sees this just happens to recognize a family name, your request is really way too broad. Since she was YOUR mother, we aren't looking too far back, and our chances of locating something on her are much better than if she lived back in the early 1700s! Zero in on it by mentioning anything else you know, like in what *area* of what *country* Edna lived before she was married, and the *date* and *place* she was born or if you don't know that, when she died, and where. Maybe if you know any of her family and any info on them, that might help. Geography and date info helps narrow the search a lot. We don't need to know all you know, or course, but in the process of even starting out, *who*, *where* and *when* answers are quite necessary. I can't help, because none of the names you mentioned fits anything in my family searches, but with luck, something you come up with in your answer might ring a bell with someone. Good luck, keith whaley ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to WHALEY-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message --------------------------------- Sick sense of humor?
