Helene Emma COOMBS or COOMBES was born in Bluff City on 24 August 1889. She may have
been baptised in a local Baptist church. In 1912 she moved to Kamloops, British Columbia,
Canada, where she met and married my grandfather: Norman Edgar ROY. I would like to
identify her parents and siblings in order to establish a family tree. If I am able to
trace the descendants of her siblings (apparently at least two sisters) I may also be able
to ascertain why she left Bluff City for the Canadian frontier. Can you ascertain the
identity of her parents and siblings? Thanks.

(Bristol, Tn.) in the mid 1920's. Her mother, Lummie Louthian died in childbirth around
1907-8 with her second daughter. (Who also died). She supposedly also had a son, Clint(?)

mother. Any information would be appreciated!
