<DIV><FONT face=Arial>I believe that often it is a mailing address that they may
be referring to even though they are not born in a town. I know that is
true in my case, I was born at home in the country and our mail came out of one
town even though we lived closer to another town. My birth certificate
shows the town that was considered our mailing address.</FONT></DIV>

birthplace. I assumed it was correct, but never found any birth records
for her. Then I found several references to her being born in Benton Co. Or.
Seemed correct, but I still wonder why she is repeatedly saying she was born
in J.C. Would you be able to look for maybe a birth announcement for the
local newspaper? Sometimes I find that they were indeed born in a
city, but that is not where they lived, so the announcement is listed later
where they actually lived. Her parents are James & Melvina Graves.
