I've been researching Merril for months.

If you have any more questions or something don't quite pan out let me know I don't know for sure but this appears to be the correct Merril Heard.

How did you find her so easily? I can't find hardly anything on her or her parents. No photos or stories.

It wasn't exactly simple. I use Ancestry and Family Search and just start compositing a list of possibles I have 2 screens on my computer so I can compare information between different people so it helps me compare and look around.
