I need information from anyone who might be acquainted with or related to a Charles Edgar Barker, age 59, presently of Spokane, Washington, who also lived in Kennewick, Washington. His wife to my knowledge was a Carrie, who had a daughter Carrie Ann with granddaughters Cassandra and Terra; Charles' family included a daughter Barbara Jean (Bobbie) Realing (could be Williams), a Beverly, and a son Charles Edgar Barker. He also had siblings in the Oregon and California areas.

There is a tentative urgency in my daughter Heather's life, in which she has read a recent obituary in the TriCity Herald in Kennewick, WA for a Charles Edgar Barker, 59, who passed on November 2, 2000 from heart disease and was living in Spokane, Washington. She has asked me to help her with research to determine whether she has lost her natural father.

I am posting this message to ask for help from you folks, as we need to determine whether this Charles Edgar Barker is indeed the same man. Some of the names of the family members listed in the obituary appear familiar, although last names of the females now are different from those they had when Heather was a small babe.

For the sake of my daughter, please forward any information or suggestions in research you may have; it would be very much apreciated.

Thank you,

Jen
