Byron Engles's daughter passed away 4 months ago today and I am the only living relative on my Mom's side. if there is any information I can fid out please let me know. I would love to find out about any family on my Grandpa's side thank you Vicki Gittings

Growing up I knew very little about this Miraculous women. When I starting our family tree I had no idea what I would find. She had made a wonderful career that was exciting, courageous and I believe very fulfilling. A romantic relationship with her husband which in itself was unbelievable. I wish I had more time to get to know her better. Rest In Peace My Cousin. I am grateful for all that you did.
