[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 21324, member: 1514"] There was no obit when she died. She died in my moms home and my mom didnt have an obit put in anywhere. I know she died in april of 88. Maybe I could search the social security death index. See...my grandmother was in a weird situation...or maybe not so weird for her generation. Her mom died when she was quite young. She was born in 1903 I think...or maybe it 1905. One of those two years. I think it was 03 because she was 86 when she died and she must not have had her birthday yet. Ok....well she had several siblings...both girls and boys. Her father farmed the girls out to families in the greater boston area because he couldnt care for them after the mother died. The boys stayed with him. I have no idea whatever happened to them or what their names were. I only vaguely remember one of her sisters except for one older unmarried aunt who lived with her after my grandfather died. I think I remember visiting one sister in an apt in boston when I was very young. Whatever happened to her I dont know. I dont even know what my aunt who lived with my grandmothers last name was...lol...I only knew her as my aunt neenie...lol. She died when I was a teen. I guess it never occurred to me that she ought to have a last name. I guess maybe having grandkids is making me nostalgic or something. [/QUOTE]
