No, Eleanor was no black. She was married to someone else at the time of Connie's birth. Eleanor's husbands first name was Elwood, Elroy, El???, something like that. The way it went was: Oral Pollard was the half-brother to Joseph Higgins, so Joseph adopted Connie. Joseph and his wife were an older couple but they took Connie. It comes out that her father was her Uncle and her uncle was her Father. She was able to ask Oral before he died if that was the truth and he said Yes. See what I mean?? I am mostly looking for info on Eleanor.
