We need some help
Doug: Great Verdun minds think alike. I actually tried what you suggested about 3 years ago. I had our local library contact the Gazette. The Gazette sent 5 boxes of microfiche with all the obits for 1999. Unfortunately the quality of the microfiche was pretty poor and after 3 days at the library using their reader and finding that many if not most notices don't contain each person's actual age at death the task effecticely became impossible. In addition to age , I thought I might be able to to see if there was any other info in each notice which might be able to identify her like the fact that she had 4 brothers and 3 sisters however I couldn't find anyone who fit that profile. I therefore had to give up that avenue.Thanks again for the suggestion and please keep them coming.

Hi there,
I don't want to give you any false hope or anything like that, however, I might know someone who could possibly get your mom's name for you, however, I would need more details.
Please email me at coleman_dougie@hotmail.com
with your name, and ALL the details they gave you about your biological parents.
I will try and call in a favor to get this info, but it is not a sure-fire outcome, however, I figure nothing ventured is truly nothing gained.
Keep me posted.
Warm regards,
Doug
