David, my grandmother raised my mom, rita. Grandmother's name was
Marion DeRoach, really Roache. Marion's maiden name was Carney. She
had 2 sisters, Rose and Stella who also moved down here from Canada.
Rita was born in 1918, but we also found out that she was actually
born in 1917 or 1916. Joan

Joan,
We may have already spoke, but do you know who raised Rita, and
what year
she was born?
Thanks,
Connie
