Geneology - a dream come true

I am trying to work on my geneology. I sure haven't earned my wings in the subject. It sure makes you want to know the people you come from. Wish I could chat with them for an hour or so. Imagine what I could learn. I believe I have met one, briefly. I was trying to compile info on my grandmother. I had been trying to remember when she died but had block. I prayed a lot. One night I had a remarkable dream. I was standing by a dutch door in an endless wall. There was a doorbell, so I rang it. I told the man who opened the top of the door that I wanted to speak to Orl (Oliver) Weston. When she reached the door I ask her for her death date. She gave me a date I kew was wrong. I told her I wanted to take her to the temple. (If you are LDS you understand what I mean) She said that where she was was all she deserved. I told her I wanted her to be my grandmother forever, and she deserved better that this sad place. She gave me another date.
A voice from beside her spoke up. "Orl, you know that is not true." I peeked around the door. There stood a small, sweetlooking lady. Her hair was very light brown and it was wrapped around her head like a crown. I had no doubt of her identity. It was Grandma's mother,Hannah Amelia Gates Oliver. She gave me the right date and the three of us were suddenly kneeling and crying for joy in a lovely field. When I woke up I wrote down the date. Of course it was correct. It took me a long while to find her information, but I did. Her family is now nearly complete. I am seeking her youngest brother(see earlier post ) He was born and adopted into their family in apx. 1901. His full name is William Francis Oliver. He is believed to have died inthe 1940s while working as a lineman in California. Maybe in stockton. Please help me find him!
