She is originally from a town called Hayti, Missouri. After she died, Dad and I traveled to Hayti looking for family records but since she (and my dad's father, her brother) were both adopted, they couldn't give us any information at the courthouse. Lucille was born "Lucille Doris" and after she was adopted, she changed her name to "Lucille Jackson." I am not sure when or why this happened but it makes the family tree a whole lot more confusing. I am also not sure if Lucille and Kos were biological siblings. I think they were.
I'm also not sure whether or not the Jackson family was also from Missouri and later moved to Biloxi, Mississippi with Lucille and Kos, or if they were brought to live there after they were adopted. This is one of the things that I'll probably be able to find out by reading some of the newspaper clippings.

I am sorry that the images are so small. I am still not used to blogspot. I don't think I like it, but it's free and I've already started. Click below to read about the rest of her trip. (Far more interesting than the last post.)
