I am in need of help locating information on parents of Lilly Jane Thomas and Beulah Mae Thomas. Lilly Jane is my great grandmother and Beulah Mae was her sister. I believe they are originally from South Montgomery County. This is an area around Pine Level or Ramer, AL and I believe their father was a man named John Wesley Thomas. Via research, I have been able to find some information about their spouses, as well as some of their decendents, however, I have been unable to find any information about their parents nor their early live. While I am unsure when Beulah Mae passed, Lilly Jane passed away in 1979, therefore information from her obituary may not be in certain databases.
