  • Notes 
    • Minnie’s bro. & sister cited in family Bible of grandmother Jordan.
      I applied for but there was NO birth cert. 02/2012.
      Vella says Nana said Minnie was the “spanish” or Mexican girl.
      Aunt Martha said she was born in Itasca and her mother was not Mexican, but the father was.
      She had different father than Beatrice and Otis.

      ***29 Sept 2014-After talking with AUnt Martha again and Aunt FLo, concensus is that Minnie had the Mexican father, Beatrice & Otis had different father, possibly a Hightower. Also, that Marshall may not have even been Minnie’s biological mother, either.***
