Thank you so much for the info. Thank you for your time and really appreciate the help.
When trying to look up the married ladies in the family, it is hard when you do not know the last name of the husband to whom they married. I have been trying the Family search on the Jesus Christ Church of Ladder day Saints, which has been of some help, and also Rootsweb.com on the SSDI, but a lot of times it is hard there also since it is also connected to Ancestry now and for some of the record you have to be a paid member, of which living on a month to month payment from SSI we can only afford so much, and why we need help, what we call our Genealogy angels here.
Thank you again.
