Answer 1

By name and location, this might be your great grandmother?

By name and location, this might be your great grandmother, death record lists her parents but not her husband.

Thank you so much I spent hours and found the same information you found this is correct.  We are having a family Reunion and my mother never met her Grandmother.  Thank you  

Answer 2

Start by getting your grandmother’s death certificate.

Comments

thank you  I was able to see her surname and social security and will start there.

The death certificate should have her parents names. Social security application often have the parents names a well, but not always. The social security administration is quite slow in responding to requests like these.
