HARDING/HARDEN/HARDIN in Los Angeles area (search, family tree, free)

[Flying Wing]

I am looking for descendants of my great uncle and aunt, GEORGE and KATE (CATHERINE) HARDING/HARDEN/HARDIN. Catherine's maiden name was CAYER. She was born in Chicago, 1897, and died in Buena Park, Orange (County), California, 1976. I would appreciate any help, as I haven't the faintest idea about how even to begin.

There a number of family trees on Ancestry.com with these people in them - you could contact the tree owners but you'd need a subscription. Some of their children are private/living but the deceased ones are:

David Anthony Harding 1920–1994
Catherine Loretta Harding 1923–2005
Richard John Harding 1925–1955 (m. Almeda Mae Minar)
Diane Marie Harding 1937–1995

I would look for obituaries for them, which might list their children. You can also try familysearchnow.com and truepeoplesearch.com which are free search sites for living people.
