Last night I was sitting on the couch letting my mind relax from the frustration I feel of yet hitting another dead end. When it hit me, I had never looked for Shirley on Grandpa or my Mom's obit. I found my Mom's obit but she was not listed. Icouldn't find Grandpa's obit. Donald G Hall 1907-1999. I have asked a few people if they have a copy of his obit. So it is the wait and see game. Is it that simple? Is it the one rock, I missed and didn't turn over.
I know my family thinks I'm nuts putting this much research to find someone who is probably passed on. But in someways I can relate to Shirley. Someone told me years ago that when Shirley's Mom had passed on "Luella"that is why she reached out to Grandpa. I too felt that when my own Mom died. I was an only child living in a huge family on both sides but felt alone... Now a year after my Dad has passed on, even though I know I'm not alone, I stand alone. I represent my family line. With me my last name "Fowler" ends and the Wilke name lives on until the girls marry. I want to make sure that when and if my girls go looking for who they come from its all there with no big holes.
Today I started a new research. I am wondering if the Shirley Sanford is connected to any Sanford's in Idaho. I got a hit today with a Vere Sanford who was married to Alta. There is one tree that says there is a living Sanford. So for now I am looking to see if there is a connection between Shirley Sanford who died in Denver Colorado in July 2006. And could this be the thread I need to finding Shirley?
