I found that the Norman Davis you seek is listed on the Social Security Death Index, same birthdate, died Jan 1984 in Marion county IN. You may want to post a message on that message board also, and give the death date and request for someone to search for the obituary. It would be worthwhile for you to send for his Social Security application, which should tell you his parents' names, including his mom's maiden name. There is a fee, but would it would help a lot researching a name as common as Davis. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
