Phyllis, First of all thanks for the above, I was able to connect them with the reocrds in my database.
I am also trying to put the Carrico/ Montgomery records in order.
is your father Joseph Robert Carrico son of Joseph Reuben Carrico and Mary Alice Montgomery.
Also I am trying to connect Vivian Eleanora Richey Brown, the picture on the main page., Am I remembering correctly that Richey Brown is your husbands family.?
Thanks for your help.

Dottie, No, my mother was Catherine Lyons Carrico, daughter of Joseph Rueben Carrico and Mary Alice Montgomery. Vivian Eleanora Ritchey Brown is my husband’s mother. He was given her maiden name for his Christian name – Ritchey (notice the ‘t’). Ritchey’s dad was Rex Edwin Jolly, who was adopted when two years of age – hence we are Brown’s instead of Jolly’s!
