Hi Maggi,
I'm writing, not about you lost book, although I would dearly love to see it myself as it sounds like we are probably second cousins or the like.
I am from Clara Rolke-Cranmer, wife of Sanford Cranmer/Leah Cranmer (youngest sister of Ruth and Mayme's)/Elmer Pullen/Barbara Pullen. My name was Larry Ross Smith at birth.
I think I may have found Clara Rolke's mother maiden name. Sable/Zable/Zavel if you have any information on that. And if there is anything I can do for you, please let me know.
