A Second Look: The Parents of Robert Lee Terrell, Sr.

The search to find who the parents of my maternal great-grandfather, Robert Lee Terrell, Sr. are and what happened to them is still ongoing.

I turned to the few remaining family members that may have recollections of conversations, or anything.  The numbers of these family members are dwindling rapidly and I’m grateful for anything that I can get.
