Her new parents were Bert and Clara M. Beers. Her "brothers" name was Leonard Franklin Beers and his wife, Marjorie J. Shults(also have the last name Fleming associated with her). Leonard Franklin Beers passed away on Dec. 28 2003 in Mission Viejo, CA, haven't found an obit yet. Some cities he may have lived in as well are, Bell Gardens, CA and San Juan Capistrano, CA. He was born Sept. 9 1918. The reason for finding info on him is I'm still trying to find info on my grandmother, and Leonard was her "brother", she wasn't born to the same parents as Leonard, Bert and Clara Margaret Beers, however, at a young age, she came to live with them and she did take on their surname. Since my grandmother, origin! al last name Bergschneider, then changed to Beers has passed, and Leonard and his wife Margorie have passed, I was hoping that there were other family members to contact about my grandmother, and am hoping that maybe Leonard had children that I could track down. Can someone possibly locate an obit for either, Leonard or Marjorie, or Clara or Bert or Alberta, maybe that will give me clues as well. But the main purpose of this email is to hopefully find out about Leonards family so that I may get in contact with them. Thank you SSDI > Name: Leonard F.

Birth: abt 1918 Spouse Name: Marjorie J Fleming Spouse Age: 30 Est. Spouse Birth: abt 1933 Date: 7 Dec 1963 Location: Los Angeles ===== Name: Leonard F Beers Age: 45 Est. Birth: abt 1918 Spouse Name: Marjorie J Schultz Spouse Age: 30 Est. Spouse Birth: abt 1933 Date: 7 Dec 1963 Location: Los Angeles I presume that the reason for two different surnames of spouse is that Marjorie was previously married, so that one is her maiden surname and one is her previous-marriage surname - UPDATE: I recieved this bit of news, but can't find the people mentioned: Possible children? Looking at surname Beers, selecting mother's maiden name - California Birth Index, 1905-1995 Name: Vernon Ryan Beers Birth Date: 10 Apr 1978 Gender: Male Mother's Maiden Name: Fleming Birth County: San Bernardino ===== Name: Patricia L Beers Birth Date: 7 Dec 1956 Gender: Female Mother's Maiden Name: Schulz Birth County: Los Angeles ===== Name: Thomas S Beers Birth Date: 7 Dec 1957 Gender: Male Mother's Maiden Name: Schulz Birth County: Los Angeles Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
