Need help locating records for Lena Josephine Flower Born 4 Aug 1892-1 Jan 1972

Question

I have an account through Familysearch.org and have been looking at different records in hopes that I could find my great grandmothers biological parents.

Any help in this matter would be most gratefully appreciated.

Respectfully,

Tanya Alltop (her great granddaughter)

Dear Tanya,

    I created the profile for Lena Fowler that you attached above.  Can you tell me more about your great-grandmother?  Was she adopted, and if so was Lena Fowler her name after that event? Was she in Alabama?

   Tell us what you know, and we may be able to find better matching records. Do you have her marriage record?  Sometimes parents of the bride and groom are included there. -NGP
