I wanted to trace her “Hendrix” line
she’s a descendant of John Hendrix (1865-1915), but I’ve missed to find the link between him and her father or grandfather.
I couldn’t find any information on her paternal side either… Her father’s name is Thomas Hendrix Jr. so Elaine’s grandfather must have the same name.
On the other hand, Elaine’s great-grandmother, Alice M. McDonald, was the daughter of John McDonald, who was born in Canada to Scottish parents, and Frances C. Baker, an English emigrant.
