Judith, I really feel for you with your challenge. As you know, we have a lot of experts here in many fields, but when you don't have a name, birthdate or anything else it is really hard. I hope you will find an agency that will help you through this to a positive conclusion. I can't imagine if I were your DIL trying to search for my roots and not being able to get anywhere! Betty the librarian would have done anything she could to help you. I wish you the best in her quest to find her extended family.
