      Classification: Query
      Surnames: Trollinger, Baldwin
      I'm looking for any information on my maternal grandfather, Gordon Lee Trollinger, born 1/1/1910 in Whitefield County, near Dalton.(possibly)He died approx. 1963 in Decatur, GA, when I was 5.
      My grandmother was Martha Jane Baldwin. I believe she was born in Calhoun, GA, but I don't know when.
      I don't know when or where they were married. Mom seems to remember that her Grandfather took his wife's last name when they married, but since mom has been physically and mentally disabled for most of my life, I don't know how much faith I can put into anything she says.
      My mom is the black sheep of the family and we've had no contact with anyone in close to 20 years, so I have only mom's info to go on. I am NOT trying to contact any living relatives. If they want to contact me, that's fine. But I'm trying to trace my heritage, not cause anyone trouble.
