The family I am searching for is a more modern search. I am trying to find my biological mother. I believe her name is Elaine White, or a variation of the first name. She was 18-22 years old when I was born in 1969 in Claremore, Oklahoma. Her mother’s name was Lois Marriah Fox. I have not yet found Lois’ husband. Lois’ parents are Alva and Mattie Fox. If anyone knows anything, please contact me.

Looking for suggestions on our White family connection in Ireland. 3rd Great Grandfather Henry Daniel White 1839-1915 & his brother Michael Joseph White 1841-1917 were both born in County Mayo, Ireland. Unknown where in County Mayo they were born at or who their parents might be. Henry Daniel came to Ontario in 1861 and for a time settled in Toronto. He was a surveyor. Brother Michale Joseph came to Ontario in 1867 and was also a surveyor. They both eventually settled in what is present day Elk Point, Union County, South Dakota where they farmed. Any suggestions on where to search in County Mayo would be appreciated as everything I have done at present has not yielded positive results.
Thanks in advance,
Kim Callahan

This weekend, I've been focusing on a collateral branch: Ervin Havelock White, who was born in Nova Scotia & moved to Essex County, MA. Out of the 11 children he & wife Alice had, 10 lived to adulthood. Kind of makes up for my sparse line (his aunt Jennie, who had just 2 kids)!
