Hello Everyone, I am trying to help my Uncle find his aunt. As my mom and I have been doing our family tree my Uncle who is in his 80's has asked if I could help find his missing aunt. My Uncle's father and Grandfather had always talked about "Tia Laura". His grandfather had her before he married so she was older then the half brother. All we know is that Laura had gone to the states she was born several years before her younger half brother. She was living in California in the early 1920's as her half brother had visited her and sent his father photos, one of them had two men and it said on the back these are Laura's two oldest sons the boys were close to the their Uncles age. Another clue we have is the year 1943 that was written on my uncles grandfathers records but with no correspondence to why. Doing research I found a Laura Moniz/Mitchell that is about the right age and did live in California at about the right time. She had sons that would be about the right age and she did die in 1943. These could all be coincidences. I am hoping that maybe one of her family members is doing family research and stumbles upon this. As Laura was a illegitimate then her father would be listed as incongnito on her birth certificate. I would be able to provide Laura's family with 5 generations back on the fathers side. The woman I think could be the missing Laura is in some records listed as Laura Moniz sometimes she is listed as Laura Mitchell. She was married to a Frank P Mitchell they lived in Glouchester Mass and had several children Joseph, Leonora (Nora), John, Anthony, Aurthur and Manuel. She died on March 4th, 1943 in Alameda California. Again I would happily scan the photo online to prove that this Laura is the right one.
I know this is a long shot but you never know unless you ask.
