My mother and her two sisters who had once been close were estranged until the search led me to them and to their families. First I found Aunt Dorothy and Cousin Mickey. (Click on”Reunion” to see more photos.)
I found Aunt Elinor alive and well at age 94 and then I found her children, John and Sandra. Sandra and her daughter, Amy, came to see Elinor in July, 2008.

The Laughlin family gathered for the first time since 1936 in 2009 for Elinor’s Memorial Service in East Liverpool, Ohio.
