For some reason I've had a bit of difficulty finding much online about the family. I think Guyida is the only child with living descendants. I'm about 75% sure I've found the snail mail address for one of Guyida's children so I'll send a note off to them and see if they're interested in the certificate. Hopefully they still live there. And don't think I'm some weird stalker person.
Hello,
ReplyDeleteI am one of Guyida's granddaughters (Virginia's daughter). To which person & address did you write to? I haven't heard of anyone mentioning this so wondering if your letter made it to the right address. I can be reached at 253.720.2962
Thanks,
Caron Sanderson
Guyida was my Great-Grandmother. She passed many years ago. She moved to Washington, married Henry White, and had 3 children. They travelled with the logging industry. From Aberdeen to Mt.Rainier, until my Great-Grandpa Hank died in a logging accident. Her children: Dean, Lorraine, and Virginia Pearl (my Grandmother) are all still living in Puyallup, Washington.
ReplyDeleteI am shocked to have stumbled upon your post! Thank you for your interest in lost family history!!
