Debra, My Grandmother, Anna Maude Yordy Chamberlin was a sister to Matilda. I met her when I was young....we called her Aunt Till.....she and William Wise had 6 children.....Merle, Oak, Earl, florence, Bill and Harry. They lived in Munhall, Pa. then in Norrisville. Jenevra Jones Yordy, Matilda and Anna's Mother, is a mystery to me. I have one Aunt left who is 81 tomorrow, she was too young to know Jenevra...I have tried writing to New Castle for a death certificate but they don't have one. I have the death notice that was published in the paper, though. Searching Jones is tough and it is a Welsh name. I think the Indian heritage is on Jenevra's Mother's side. Are you a Wise relative???? Do you have any more info on the Yordy/Jones side. I have traced Amos (Matilda's father) back to Switzerland in the 1600's.....Let me know......Wilda

Debra, I knew Merle the most out of the children. Never knew her name was Edith. Florence was called "Toots". Now that I see Leatha I remember my Mom talking about her. My Aunt will know when Merle died..it was in the 90's I think. The fact that they have a Geneva leads me to believe Jenevra could have been Geneva??? Maybe that's why I couldn't find the death notice. Anyway, why don't you e-mail me direct to misswilda@mindspring.com ...maybe we can find this heritage together.....where are you living??? I left Pgh when I was 27....lived in NY, CT now in SC. Hope to hear from you.....Thanks, Wilda

Dinah Altschul was my great-grandmother. She had 8 children. Their names were: Clare, Leaffie, Georgia, Edith, Annie Lee, Tommie Jean, Louis, and Fred. Clare married a Hall. Leaffie married an Etue, and Georgia married a Collins. Annie and Edith married brothers by the surname Nugent. Tommie died when she was 3 years old, and Fred never married. My mother's mom was Dinah's daughter, Leaffie. Leaffie's father was Tom Burnett, and her husband was Marion Oliver Etue Sr. Leaffie and Marion had 10 children. My mom, Allie was the 3rd oldest. I noticed the names Edith and Leatha in your message. Could Leatha be Leaffie?

My mothers name was Florence l Chamberlain, she had a brother Bill who was a twin, the twin had a fatal accident while trimming trees. She had a younger sister who we called Mira, I remember mom telling me that her mom only had one hand (I believe), is this the same Florence Chamberlin with the family you was searching?
