Judy, now that I have navigated a bit more, I realize that you would not be Dorothy's daughter. Posie and Claude had 5 children. Buster, Bill, Charles, Dorothy and Leo. Dorothy had a daughter named Judy. Dorothy was killed in a tornado in Oklahoma was Judy was small. All are deceased except for Bills wife Mary who lives in a care facility in Arkansas. I have some contact with their grandson Danny. Mary knew a lot about the Barnett family, hopefully she passed it to Danny. Still trying to put some of the pieces together, also wrote to a Lori Barnett who has started a tree. Best, Colleen
