She has two grandsons and one granddaughter.
Also two great grandsons and one great granddaughter.
Pauline is my second cousin, she's on my Edingburg side which would be my paternal grandmothers side. I never had the chance to meet her in person, but I did talk to her on the phone.
When I was researching the Edingburg side of my family I put a post on Rootsweb looking for people related to Daniel Trigg Edingburg, That post sat with no replies for years probably seven years or more then I got a reply and from there this is how I came in contact with this large part of my family that I had no idea existed. Since then I have kept in constant contact with my new found cousins.
Pauline said that my dad and his brother would go to Chicago from Tennessee to see the family. She remembers them both being so handsome and the girls always saying how handsome they were. I knew nothing of this, for some unknown reason no one in my immediate family said a word about these cousins in Chicago.
Pauline's "Dufauchard" side of the family is from New Orleans and originally from Paris, France.
I'm doing research on this side of her family as well.
Pauline worked for the Curtiss Candy Company, she would bring bags of candy home for her family. The company started business in 1916 located on Illinois Street and Ogden Slip. Starting out with Babe Ruth candies, Later the company sold out to Standard Brands moved the facility to Franklin Park in 1966. The company would go through several more transfers of ownership. They made Butterfinger a popular candy.

She's eating. I don't think that was her favorite thing to do. I like her sweater.

I think we may be relatives through Pauline’s father Paul. My great grandmother would have been Paul’s sister Antonia. They were the children of Paul Dufauchard and Wilhemina (Willamina) Leonard of New Orleans. His sister Antonia married Edward Brown and was commonly referred to as Toni Brown
