Question

Hoping you can help. I need to find Glenna's parents and anything else that can be found out about her. Thanks for your help! I don't know Glenna's last name. I've look everywhere for info on her and couldn't find it.

Answer 1

Her obituary gives her maiden name as BOSTIC.

I could not find an obituary in which Glenna was named as a relative (for her parents or siblings).

Answer 2

I found 2 on census records that could be her but your BEST bet is to order her social security applicaiton where she would have written her parents names on it. www.ssa.gov gives you the form and how to do it, under Freedom of Information
