Maybe....maybe not.

I was in a similar situation with a g-grandmother. You can take a chance and
maybe get lucky by filling out the request form they have. They ask for
relatives names too, her
mothers maiden name, husbands (all) names, etc. See the form they have on
the website.

Also, if you know the county she passed away in, MAYBE the Historical
Society has records. I know the Carbondale, PA Historical society has been a
gold mine of free information (although it is proper to make a proper
donation)for our family research. Birth records, death records,
naturalization, etc
Then there are some HS's that don't have very much in that regard.

Isn't genealogy fun !
