Hi Cheryl, I thank you for this post. Did your grandmother's half-sister know any information about her mother? A birth date? Do you know the names of the children that Adelaide had? If Adelaide was adopted into the family? Do you have a death month and date? When you say she is a mystery, is it because you don't have any information about her, or are trying to fill in the 'pieces of a puzzle'? I look forward to hearing from you. Have a wonderful day. Fawnie (Fawn U)
