    I wonder if by chance this is your ancestor

    https://www.familysearch.org/tree/person/details/KWVH-DQ6

     

    if not - can you please supply her birth and death info

    dates and places.

    Maurine, I have often found that there can be many people with the same, or very similar, names. I love researching a man named Frank W. Yetter. I knew that he was a Jr., so I needed to be careful in determining whether I was finding information about him, or his father. However, I found that he had cousins and other relatives that were also Frank W. Yetter. He really didn't die in California, Pennsylvania and New York. There were multiple people with the same name.

     

    Do you have any other information that you could share about your ancestor? If you don't have birth or death dates - do you have an approximate idea? If you don't know for sure where they were born, do you know where they died? If you don't have dates or places, can you share information about where their children were born and who they were?

     

    Researching our family tree is really fun detective work. We get the best results when we consider the important clues.

     

    I'm betting that if you share some more details, we can find some answers for you!
