Frustrated

[johnstonmr]

It's incredibly frustrating that every time I take a step forward in
regard to my father, I take one back.

So, yeah. I found him--and he'd been dead for 10 years. Then I found
my uncle--and that's great, don't get me wrong--but he hadn't seen my dad in
10
years before his death. Neither of us really know anything about his
second wife except for her name. I want very much to find her, to learn
what I
can, but I've slammed into a dead end. Short of hiring a PI, I'm just
not sure what else I can do. I've pretty much exhausted all the avenues of
research that don't require me to spend money. It would be better if I
at least had a middle name or something.

Oh... marriage records... but then, I'd need to know where they got
married to find that. Hmmm.

So, yeah. Anyone know a Julie D. Johnston, maiden name Duroncelet,
probably in her 40s-50s, once married to a guy named Robert Eugene Johnston?
All I
know is that someone found her back in 2004 and she refused to accept
an inheritance meant for my father. Unfortunately those lawyers didn't know
about me, or I'd have wiped out my student debt. Oh well.

Anyway, suggestions? Please make them reasonable ones: I'm not rich, here.

There are a couple of Duroncelets living in Sac - from the looks of them I'm guessing that they are married. The guy, Steve, is an artist. The woman, Sue, is a counselor.

Maybe they would know?

There is also a Julie Droncelet who went to high school in Hayward from 65-69. Perhaps armed with that information, you could check something like "classmates.com" or "facebook".

Yeah, I exhausted those angles, as well as any reasonably searchable result on google. But thanks!

if you can track down that law firm that handled that inheritance back in the day, they might be able to put you in contact with her.

I know there are a lot of people who do record searches for thier ancestry which means they have massive databases of information like marriage records that are searchable. I'm not a family tree guy personally so I'm not real clear on how it all works but looking into that angel might open some doors for further research?
