I have been doing some research on My grandmother, she is 92 and her memory is fading over the years.
Her married name is Helen B VanMeter
This is what she does remember
She was born In Savanah Oklahoma
Her Fathers Name was Elbridge Lewis(Louis)
Her Mother died when she was around 9 years old, She says her Mom was Cherokee Indian, she thinks Her Mothers name was Mary Paul.
She was adopted by her grandparents in Oklahoma, after her mom died.
Her Grandpa's name was Fred Paul,and her Grandma she is not sure. (she may have her mom and grandmas name mixed because she consders her grandma her mom, though I will find her birth certicate to find out for sure.)
They lived on a Large farm for much of her life, I know her grandma lived to be quite Old.
My grandmothers Birth name was
Helen B Lewis(Louis)
Her adopted name is Helen B Paul.(Mothers maiden name)
She has never known the B to stand for anything but "B"
Ive noticed quite a few other Middle initial B's with the Paul name, and wondered is any know what it stands for.
Thank You
