In Response To: Re: Aunt, Iris V Moore (Karyn)

On November 3, 2015, you posted an inquiry to this same site: "Help me if you can, I am looking for information on my father's half sister Iris Moore. Mother Amy Moore. Iris was institutionalized at the facility." On April 24, 2016, you posted another inquiry, "I have run into a discrepancy regarding dates of her birth, death, etc. Can you help? Is there a site that I can go to in order to obtain this myself? Everywhere that I have gone to attempting to verify dates, I receive a "No Information Available" response."

Back on November 15, 2015, I spent quite a bit of time on your behalf and did quite a bit of research for you, which included three obituaries, census record and a Minnesota birth record. This Iris Vivian Moore was the daughter of Amy (Bellesfield) Moore. The name of the mother matches your inquiry.

I posted my response to your inquiry on November 15. Did you not see my answer or do you believe these dates and person are incorrect? I am a little confused. Please reply to the site that you received my response today and what information you still need.

This is what I posted for you from my research six months ago.
