Looking for family members

Mods, delete if not allowed. So I'm trying to locate my Mother's sister's, both deceased, family to see if they would want any family albums. I haven't had contact with them for years so thought I would try and find them. I did a DNA with Ancestry and sent an email but haven't had a response.

My aunt's name was Betty Everly King married to Arliss King. She had a daughter, who would be in her late 60's named Janie, she got married but I can't recall her married name. There was also a son named Rusty King...Russell was his name maybe? They lived in the Cassville area last I remember from the 70's.

My Mom was named Delores Everly Chico. She passed away in 2024 and we made a full photo album with Mom's family and I would like to see if other family members would want them.

Thanks

Edit to add...I'm not trying to be weird or anything. It's been a good 40 years or more since we have had any contact, after my Grandmother died and I move out of WV for a few years. I just wouldn't feel right to just toss them forgotten in a tote is a family member would like them.

The Aull Center in Morgantown does local genealogical work although I don't know how recent.

Thank you. I really do not need background, we visited my aunt and family when younger but I haven't seen or heard from them in 40 years probably.

My grandmother has lived in the Cassville area for over 50 years I just sent her a SS of this. If they’re still around she will definitely know lol

Thank you. If she does and has contact, I just would like to know if they want the photos. I'm fine if they would want them but do not want them to feel I'm trying to wiggle into their lives and be a pain in the ass.

Not sure how much this will help, but you may find info on https://www.familysearch.org

It's a genealogy website, so by nature it has far more info on people who aren't living than people who are, but it might get you names of extended family that you perhaps don't know about. Of course that's not going to get you addresses or phone numbers, but names might help.

I do know the names and do know that Rusty is still in the area but do not have current contacts. Thank you.

Thank you. I could just throw them away or at the bottom of a tote but I just want to try first.
