Thank you so much for responding so quickly! Irene was my Great Aunt, Clide was my Great Uncle. Her half brother, Claude Speight, was my maternal grandfather. Up until just recently I was completely stumped regarding the Speight side of my family. I knew my greatgrandfather's first wife died and I knew my grandfather had a half sister named Irene, but that was about it. Only recently have I pieced together how the Neely's fit in. I have just begun corresponding with Marie M (Irene's first husband's sister). She has shared my letters and photos I mailed to her with both of Irene's daughters. My mother and dad visited with Irene while they were traveling through Alabama. My mom passed away a few years ago and we lost touch with Irene's family. I came across Irene's funeral notice while visiting my dad recently which led to my writing to Marie. I know this is a convulted story, but that is how I am related to Irene!
