Still haven't found the 1910 census for them.  Different sites have bits of information posted on Pearl but they LACK DOCUMENTATION!!  which drives me nuts because without proof it's just dates and places they could have come up with anywhere.  One site has a daughter for Pearl that is only 9 years younger than Pearl.  Think about it... yeah, not likely.  Since Pearl is only related to my husband's Grovers by being the first wife and the mother of the half-siblings I am not interested in tracing her lines back very far.  I would like to see her real relatives get their story straight though.
