Dose this look familiar. If you have any additional information you can provide such as a DOB, and or place of birth that would be helpful. Ive seen first names for Acer also called Yasser, Azer, and Asser. Do you have your mothers name?

Re: Seeking information about Acer Ferrell
Nedra Williams Jan 14, 2021 1:48 PM (in response to Elliot Schneider)Hi Elliot,
My mother's name was Mary F Collins. She was married once and her last name was Williams at that time. I honestly don't know much about him because she never talked about him. I'd really like to learn as much as I can. All I have are a picture of him dressed in a military uniform with my grandmother. We thought the khaki uniform may be Navy. My mom once mentioned she had a sister and a brother (Jeremy). I thought if I could identify military records that would be a great start.
I'm open to suggestions.
Thank you for your help,
Nedra

Is this your mother? Please follow the link. Can you provide me with your mother Mary's Mother who was married to Mr. Ferrell? and if you now where your grandmother was born and DOB?
hey I also found this WW2 Navy Log for a Jessier O. Ferrell its possible your mom thought Acer but think about how this mans first name sounds to what your mom wrote on the picture. I can see how someone could easily pronounce it incorrectly.
Thanks,
Elliot

Nedra Williams Jan 17, 2021 9:22 PM (in response to Elliot Schneider)Unfortunately, I don't know much about my grandfather other than he had a son named Jeremy. He didn't marry my grandmother. All I have is the name that my mother shared before she died and a picture of my grandparents taken when they were dating, I guess. Jessier is a possibility but without seeing a picture, I honestly don't know.

Alice Lane Jan 19, 2021 2:20 PM (in response to Nedra Williams)Hi Nedra,
Welcome to History Hub
Your Mother: Mary F. Collins-Was her married name Collins or Williams?
Do you have a copy of your mother's birth certificate? Do you know her birthdate?
Do you know any places where your mother or her family lived?
What was your grand-mothers maiden or married name?
