Karen,
I'm so glad you replied. I only met Lena when we were in college at Southwest Missouri State--I think we were about 19 at the time. I never knew the other girls. I have a photo that may be Lena about three years old. Her grandfather was Richard Mulanax. He was my grandmother's brother. Their father was Alfred Constantine Mulanax and their mother was Martha Metts. There is info about them on this site. I have names of Afred and Martha's other children if you want them. I barely got to know Lena--what I remember about her appearance was that she had a gray streak in her hair. There is a particular gene for that and it must have come from the other side of her family because I've never seen it in ours. I've only recently learned that another of Uncle Richard's family has died--his daughter Gerelda. Two sons remain--Virgil and Lester. Virgil is a judge in Texas and I don't have any information about Lester. Lena seemed such a sweet person and someone told me she had died in an automobile accident, but I see that was a mix-up in which girl it was.
I seem to remember my mother and grandmother referring to Lucy as Lucy Roy. My memory is not so good, and I'm not certain if Lucy was married to Coy or to Uncle Richard. Can you tell by looking at their dates which it would have been? I guess it is possible that both could have been married to Lucys.
I had always thought that Mulanax was originally a French name Mulaneaux and that Metts was Anglicized German--now I see info that the family was Irish. I know my uncle always talked about his Irish heritage, but I thought it was from the other side of the family. I've met other cousins who had been told that it was a French name also.
I'm glad to help however I can with your search. I did hear a lot of family history from my mother and grandmother and I've been working some on it.
