I have been having the darndest time finding out anything about my maternal grandfather's family tree. He divorced by grandmother so the two families did not keep in touch at all. Well, We just found out that my step-grandmother Elizabeth passed away last Sunday. Our families lost touch after my grandfather's death but my Uncle stopped by the funeral to pay his respects. Her children were very happy to see him and as it turns out, she had some of my grandfather's things (including his and his father's birth certificates). Once all the funeral craziness settles down they are going to arrange to get those things to us. Hopefully the documents she has will shed a lot of light on that branch of the family tree. I will be sure to post with what I find.
