I don't find her in any online records except for the 1930 census. At that point she is listed as single. Are you certain MARINE is her maiden name? You have her birth date listed in your online family tree. Are you certain that is the exact date? I don't find her in the California Birth Index... Is there anything else at all you can add? Where she went to school? Did she ever mention visiting family? Her Times-Herald obituary stated she was born in Oakland and lived most of her life in Vallejo, which is Solano County. Do you have a copy of her death certificate? Does it list her parents? You write that she had ten siblings, but you don't know any of their names? I'll keep digging to see what I can find, but any bit of information you can add might help. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
