It's been a while since I've been in here, so it was quite a surprise to see a response to my message. Thank you, it seems that that beyond nice for you to do this search even though Pearl is not related to you.
I've seen this most of this info before except the portion which may be Pearl's mother. I find the 1930 census so strange, Viola (my great aunt) Orville (grandfather) Lucille (grandmother) and Gene (father) are all listed as Robinson, when their last name is Laird. I guess like I've been told before, some times you just can't count on the census takers info.
Again, thanks for the info and sorry my thanks is so long in coming.
