Hi Bonnie,

Saw your postings on http://genforum.genealogy.com/az/messages/ Suggestions:

1. Get ALL the info you can wring out of your father - where he worked, dates, peoples' names he knew, other family members names (esp Priscilla's fam), ALL about Priscilla - what she was like before marriage, age, appearance, what kind of work she did, pictures (Austin?), where their family came from, who she was close to, places she wanted to live, her SSN, EVERYTHING!

2. Contact the people in the area where your father lived - some of them are still alive; don't wait, time is your enemy. If they were in the Globe area, I have a cousin that has lived there; maybe she would know someone.

I checked the SSDI: the good news is, your brother is not listed, so he is still alive.

3. If you cannot do it by the free method, you should hire a people locater and spend some bux - don't know all the rates, I think they start about $250 up. But remember, time and a cold trail are against all of us in this locating work. [No, I am NOT in the business]

4. Stop posting new messages, the board is getting saturated and you are getting folks PO'ed by the sheer volume - they are ignoring you now. New requests won't help much.

Hope you can use some of this, if you need further assistance, e-mail me.
