Patti, Why not start out by telling us all of the information that you do have. Oregon has it own death index that runs from 1903 to 1998. They California birth index should cover the children's births. His wife should be in the pre1940 California death index under her married name.

He died in 1939 in Oregon which I believe is where he went shortly after his wife died. They had a daughter that I've been trying to locate but I've need his wife’s maiden name, so I could. Sadly his daughter could never receive any SSI since uncle Vic was never listed on the death records for Social Security, in fact she doesn’t even know he died. ... >Patti >
