[or-roots] lost family?

[Leslie Chapman]

Diane;
Not having much luck with your Frank Elder, it isn't helping that there is a fictitious Frank Elder that is the protagonist of a popular novel series.  Searching "Frank Elder" Paisley mostly turns up a bunch of stuff from some "Diane" Lady.  I did find a 93 year old Coach in buried in 2006 in Chino, CA who could have had a son Frank old enough to be your guy, but they only mention two children, no Frank. The fact that there are lots of Mormon Elders who happen to be named Frank has not helped my search either.

has a Frank Elder, but he is a farmer in 1880 and anyway I think he is George Franklin Elder, you should check that page out if it isn't one of yours, a lot of Elders there.

I also found a reference to a Frank Rose Elder who was a physicist in the thirties and forties and is a published Author, but I can't find any bio info on him.
