| Aunt Dell |
So, I continue to search for information in order to fill in the gaps of my family's story. It's maddening that a woman's maiden name, the name she was born with is so hard to find because she replaced it with her husband's surname, as was and still is the custom. Growing up we were told that Samuel Jones' wife was from an Indian reservation located near the Canadian border. Does that mean she was Mohawk? There are Indian Records that I could search, but with only a first name, a very common one, Elizabeth, what are the chances of finding any information? And she looks mixed - part white. Do I have a picure of her parents in my collection? I have stared and stared into the faces of three photos: Three portraits that are identified - Elizabeth and daughter Julia Adell (Dell) and one of a dark haired fair skinned woman standing beside a girl that resembles Dell as a young girl. I look for similarities, the rounded cheeks and parted hair of Dell, the thin line of Elizabeth's mouth, the same buttons and white collar of her dress.
