spent some time looking up leads in various sites, but can't even come
close.

Growing in a small hanging pot above the sink ( extra humidity?), is a
vinelike "hairy" plant about 2+ ft long with several 1/8 " woody
stems. It has tiny green leaves ( 1 inch long by 1/16 inch wide) which
eminate from a stem in clumps of three, four, up to 6 or from side
branches . These side branches occur where the leaves are joined. It
has clusters of a dozen or more tiny single (1/8") white/cream flowers
which also eminate from the same joints on a hairlike stem up to 2 "
long. When I just transplanted it, there were soft white bulbulous
tubers? filling the pot.

This plant has been in the family for years and I'd like to know how
to properly care for it and divide it.

Thanks in advance for any hints/links,

I'm thinking asparagus fern too. Take a look here at the different varieties that you can search with.
