First you have to start with the basics-
1. Give dates
2. Why do you make the claim?
3. Get paperwork.
Dates:
Ora S. Barnes Sep 16, 1905 - Mar 21, 1991
Marshall D. Barnes Oct 23, 1896 - Jan 30, 1978
Earnest F. Barnes Feb 18, 1928 - Jun 25, 1972
Ora Smith (b abt 1903) 18
md 7 Nov 1921 Chilton, AL
Marshal Barnes (b abt 1896) 25
I could not locate an Ora Smith the right age in the 1910 census - so could not readily tell who who her parents were
1930 they were still in Chilton - in Benson
with children:
Jackson
Walter
Annie B
Ernest F
1940 they had moved to Dallas Co
Jackson
Braxton (Walter Braxton who married Elizabeth Louise Turner)
Annie Lucille
Floyd (Earnest Floyd)
James
Jean
Thomas
Pauline
Maxine
(NOTE: in 1935 resided in Rural Talladega)
Do you know her parents names??
She was born after the Dawes - so you need their names-
Send for her birth certificate - that will give you that
Death certificate would also work IF the informant knew the information
Also she would have a Social Security number - you can send for that application - since she filled it out and would know her own parents names
Have you contacted any living children? Might be one or two.
CAUTION:
If her parents did not file on the Dawes it will be a lot harder to track them through earlier rolls
Good Luck
