Additional Info
Based on DNA information from my niece and birth infromation I was able to find on Ancestry.com. Since the information I found just gives Tyus as the mother I'm not sure the mother is my sister. If the mother was Lois Tyus. The next step for me would be to learn if this adoption took place.
