Notes:

Beatrice's parents are not known as she was adopted.  Her real name is Carry B. Runnels.  There is a possibility that she may be the daughter of Ada Lynch, born in 1877 and married F.B. or F.R. Runnels in Trinity County, 1893.  Henry and Manda Lynch are the biological parents of Ada Lynch.  Bell/Bella Lynch is their step-daughter.  Bell/Bella is the biological child of Manda Lynch.  Bell/Bella Lynch married Austin Sanders and this may be how Carry B. Runnels became their adopted daughter. Any help or information would be greatly appreciated.  If you have any information about Beatrice please contact Kim at kdbcfe@gmail.com
