Thanks Emma for your help. I found the California death record for Cecile. I didn't think of checking the spelling Ivestor when I printed out all of the California deaths and births a couple years ago. Luckily, there were only two that I missed on the deaths, and its too late to get the births since they were removed because of privacy laws. On the death index there was a Norman D. Springer, b. 5 May 1931 in Arkansas; d. 19 Apr 1997 in Solano County, CA whose mother was an "Ivestor" do you suppose he could be a sibling of Cecile? Ethel would have been 46/47 years old.

He must have died before the 1920 census. Then you have the 1920 and 1930 census. Right now I am showing all those as different children: Luther - abt 1907 Ray - Sept. 1908 Cecile Mae - 28 Apr 1914 - md Richardson Sylvia - abt 1918 Cordia - abt 1922 Robert - abt 1924 Cecile Mae died 27 Sept 1994 in Alameda Co., California - from California Deaths. Not much but hope it helps a bit. Take care - Emma > Hi All, > Since things have been quiet for such a long time, maybe it's a good time > to ask some questions. > 1.
