Someone PLEASE help me find this ancestor?

Question

Uhg! I know I've asked before but I absolutely cannot find the Gerald or Jarold Conner that I'm looking for. I need to find his parents. The only thing I have found is that he was married to Theresa Edryce Knott brn in 1926. She was married about 4 or 5 times. It's driving me batty, I can't even find a trail of where they could have resided. Please help!!! Theresa died in Florida but I have no idea where they were together.

Answer 1

Hi,

You may have alread seen this but am hoping it might open up a new avenue for you - - someone posted a private family tree on Ancestry.com with 666 people in it, including Theresa Edryce Knott born in 1926 and 1 source record for her.  It's the "Sheridan Family Tree" and you can contact the person by going to:

http://trees.ancestry.com/pt/RequestTree...

Could Gerald/Jarold be this person?:

Bennett G. Conner

Born: 5 Jan 1926

Defiance, OH  

Died: 26 Mar 1981

Hicksville, Defiance Co., OH  

It appears he was married to a Lowden...  perhaps there was more than 1 marriage on his side as well?

Looks like there are Gerald Conners listed for many, many states.  Any idea when or where he was born, or the names of any other family members?

Wish I could find more info for you...!

Answer 2

Ugh is right!  Now I remember searching for this before! Unfortunately I  think I came up with the same results.

I'll post what I found for Theresa Edryce Knott which you probably already know, but more details may help others to find Gerald Conner.

Putting this puzzle together is harder than it looks (especially with a missing piece).  Hope you find him, good luck!

Answer 3

The best and really only hope you have is to get a copy of Theresa's death certificate.  It will tell you a lot about her; and her family; and which famly member witnessed the coroner's report, the pick up of the body; etc.  and then locate that person either thru death certificate or social security death index.

best of luck
