Penny, you should probably offer a whole lot more information.

The names of your cousins would be a good place to start (including married surnames of daughters, if applicable). Their approx ages would also help. And where you might expect to find them.

Kathryn B, yes thank you this is them, but I can't remember my cousin's names, I know there is one of each. it has been a very long time that I have had no contact, we were all kid's of about 10 or 12 when we last saw any of them. I will look at the phone book reference you have given me. Penny.

I'm gonna offer my standard tip -- try to find newspaper obituaries for your aunt and uncle! Either from the likely local newspaper itself, if it provides an obituary search service (some do where I'm at, in Canada, I think), or on microfilm at the local library.

If you're not local to the library ... could be tough. But reference librarians need something to do. ;)

The obituaries would definitely give their children's names, I'd think. You might need the death certs to get the exact dates of death, if you're trying to wheedle a third party into doing the microfilm search for you.
