My name is Wanda (Patton) Williams and I am looking for my family in California. They should live around the Oakland or Richmond area. My grandmother's name was Willie Ann Elliott and her daughters were Annabelle and Lillie Mae. Annabelle had a son who was named after her brother, my father LeRoy Patton, his wife's name was Maria. They had four daughters: Debra, Renee, Jaime and Brenda (who were twins). Lillie Mae had two boys and three girls: Harold, Maurice, Barbara. Delores and Lillie Ann. We are all getting older now and I would like to at least hear from one of them before my time comes to say goodbye to everyone.
