MY name is Ginger ..I was born Virginia Ann Elder. daughter of Albert A and Mary Lorraine. For many years I was hoping that I would find my father Albert A and my grandparents other relatives I knew nothing about . I know that Albert passed many years ago as have others whom I have never had the opportunity to meet or get to know. Through a friend I believe I have managed to find my relatives. I have received emails from Michelle and hopefully will have an opportunity to correspond and meet her and other family members. Thank you for this site!
