    Hello,
    I am researching the Enos-Martin-Blake families and would like to get in touch with Ron Blake or any of Franchot Blake’s children. I am not trying to get current information about living people. I am interested specifically in Mary Enos who was Franchot’s grandmother. I currently have a tree on Ancestry.com and I am trying to add more to this family. If you could please pass this on to relatives of Franchot, I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you.
    T.
