In genealogy research, we always start with ourselves, and work back one step at a time,
finding evidence and proving each step. Do you have your mother's birth certificate?
Have you found evidence about her family of origin? The more you find out about your
mother's family, the easier it will be to take the next step back, to her parents and
their origins. I believe this is your grandmother's entry in the Social Security Death
Index:
ANNA R KOPF, 5 Jul 1924 - 1 Aug 2001. Last residence: Uniontown, Fayette Co. PA 15401.
SSN: 189-20-8183, issued: Pennsylvania
I suggest finding this record at Rootsweb (
http://ssdi.rootsweb.com ) and leaving a
Post-em, so that cousin-researchers can contact you. If you have not yet done so, the site
also lets you print out a letter to the SSA requesting a copy of your grandmother's
SSN application.
I don't see an obvious match to Anna in the 1930 Census -- was she in the US in 1930?
The SSN application might shed light on that.
