On my first search, I located our family tree
"I had been looking for my grandmother, Ella Mae McLeran, for 4 years since the sudden death of my father in 1998. I knew that she was in a nursing home somewhere in Georgia but I could not find her. I finally found her last October when I saw her death notice in the Social Security Death Index. Through some more tracking on the Internet, I located an attorney in Georgia who had her remains in a cardboard box on a shelf in his office! When I tried to claim her body, he told me that I did not have enough evidence to prove that I was her granddaughter - and I had birth certificates, death certificates, etc., all the way back to my grandfather, her husband. When I ordered her death certificate, I realized why he told me that. All of her pertinent family information was marked "unknown"! My parents were divorced for years and as my dad was from Florida, I knew that there had to be some relations there who could help me. I received an email advertising OneGreatFamily and took a 7-Day Trial Subscription. On my first search, I located our family tree and the administrator was a cousin! Through contact with her, I finally was able to claim my grandmother’s ashes and bury her in the family plot in Florida."
