Hello Cindy
As soon as I read your reply that, following her marriage, Joan Barry now had the surname 'Owens' and lived in New York, I realised that the results of my research were completely off-target.
The Joseph Barry that I had traced also had a daughter named Joan.I traced her married name and then succeeded in finding her address and telephone number - but all to no avail.
After reading your message, I tried again and succeeded in tracimg the address and telephone number of a 'Joan Owens' in New York, but a further enquiry revealed that her maiden name was not 'Barry'.
In spite of further attempts today, no other leads have come to light and I am indeed sorry and disappointed to have to say that all my efforts to help have proved unsuccessful.
I imagine that you will now post an entirely new notice on the "Owens Family Forum" of the Genforum website. If you know the approximate year and place of her birth, it might be helpful to include this.
I do wish you every success in your search - it is a genealogical fact that it is often more difficult to trace people who are living today, than those who were born one or two centuries ago and never more than when a maiden name is replaced by an unknown married name and the couple move to another area.
