I'm researching my uncle Larry Mann 1948-2017. He was born in Bloomington Illinois. He was married twice but am interested in his first marriage to Sandra Boitnott. Can't find a marriage record & can't find a birth record for his daughter either. His daughter was born in Bloomington in about 1967 I believe.

any chance she's a photographer of note?
He was married to Sandy before I was born so I never knew her. Sandy & Didi left Bloomington & moved to Virginia when Didi was a baby so I barely knew her. So I don't know if either of them is or was into photography. What made you think of photography?

Hmm. It's hard to say for sure whether it's the right Sandy but I'll have to look into it. I doubt that Didi is my cousins real name so that makes it difficult too.
Did they go to Roanoke?
Yes they moved to Roanoke a long time ago. I don't know if she remarried. I know Didi has kids so she might be married.
This article referring to to the 50th anniversary of her father in Bloomington mentions her as his daughter Mann from Roanoke:

She still lived there in 2007 and 2009

Sorry, wrong dob?
My uncle was Larry Edward Mann of Bloomington 1948-2017. I think Sandy was born in 1944 but that's an estimate. Their daughter Didi was born in 1967 but that's an estimate also.
