I am looking for any decendants of Ralph Edwards and Grace Shupe. They move to Idaho from Illinois

Hi,
In 1930 Ralph, Grace and Delmar were living in Murtaugh, Twin Falls Co.
Ralph T., b. IL, 23, marr @ 22, farm laborer.
Grace, b. IL, 23, marr @ 23.
Delmar R., brother, b. IL, 25, single, farm laborer.

The most recent Census viewable by the public was the one in 1930. After 1930 it's more difficult to track people.
However, I did find an Edwards Family Tree on Ancestry and sent a note to berr9177 to contact you.

The next best way to find descendants is to find their death dates and request obituaries. Edwards is a common surname but you can check the Social Security Death Register, http://ssdi.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/ssdi.cgi .

After you find their death dates, contact a volunteer at Random Acts Genealogical Kindness to request a copy of their obituaries. Go to www.raogk.org, read instructions, choose Idaho, choose Twin Falls Co.

After I've received an obituary and found the survivor(s), I use www.whitepages.com to find current contact info. Successful Searching!

I see you've only posted 15 messages, at least under this user name. When you post, post as much information as you can on an individual or family. If you have the Date of Birth, that is EXTREMELY helpful for researchers to find the right person/s. Specifically for this search, you posted in Twin Falls County, do you have any information that has them in Twin Falls County?
