Dear Jennifer C, can't thank you enough..... we just wonder why Jane gave Ethel away and didn't get her back when she remarried.......we feel the family know something but they're not helping us! We're not judging at all......just curious......

Perhaps the second husband didn't want her, or she was settled with the family who adopted her.
