So.. I'd like to attempt to conquer the question of who her parents were. It seems no one knows, but on Ancestry it says that her father was a family member.... I will attempt to find this information if I can. I don't pay for Ancestry or My Heritage anymore... so research is slow on my end.

I found this on find-a-grave when I was resolving some source conflicts, parents are named in the "bio" but parent's graves are NOT listed in the "family" section. Bio notes that her name is spelled Ruis on the marker, but husband Alfred is spelled Rewis.

I found Familysearch tree with the same parents, but no grandparents for her, re-looked up their Marriage License, took an hour because they were not indexed, but I stumbled on it, no parents listed there either.

Definitely odd, as i have found no mention of her parnets either. Would you mind possiby adding her marriage license? As she is my great great grandmother, i have been told that she was adopted, but without proof.. i just have to believe what i find!!

I thought I had uploaded it, apparently not. I believe it's on my laptop, if not, I'll have to find it again, at least I know what section of the film it's on.

No worries!!! I would greatly appreciate it. I have never been able to find a lot for any of the Rewis family. I have received email verification of some of the Jarriel/ Rewis connections... I am trying to find a way to upload these emails. Very interesting things to read.

Uploaded marriage license yesterday and attached to both profiles.

Awesome. Thank you so much for finding that!

I am going to attempt to find a Joseph Taylor living in Taylortown in the 1910 Census. May be a lost cause but I would sure love to find out who her parents were.

I know that it has been a while since I have reached out on Minnola... I am wondering two things:
1. Was this "Margaret" Taylor actually "Barbara" Taylor? I found a Marriage Certificate for a Joseph Thomas and a Barbara Taylor... Dated 29 Dec 1892... the same exact month and year that Minnola would have been born... and this is in Coffee County, Georgia. Quite literally the ONLY Joseph Thomas and Taylor marriage I can find in that area
2. How can I add a "Maybe" to this line to see if this all fits together?
