It is also my understanding that there are 2 Ada's in the family. There was an older daughter of Major Charles Godfrey Best named Ada. He also had a son, Marmaduke Constable Best who was my great grandfather and Marmaduke's daughter Ada Georgiana May Best was my grandmother. Her son, Ralph Janoske is my father.
