Hi All: John and Ron--thanks for sending along the copies of the requested obit! :-) AHA! it's now clear that the source of the confusion is that either the marker inscription at Bayside Cemetery, or the transcript thereof, has a non-trivial problem. As to those children of Basil Cecil ZINCK and Violet MORASH, there doesn't seem to be any marriage record for the happy couple, so my guess is that Basil and Bertha have daughters Maureen and Thelma and then split up. And as long as I am guessing, I will guess that the split occurs long before that 1954 divorce and the only reason for same is that Bertha then wants to marry Sidney Whitman ZINCK. -----Bob H----- On 10/23/2012 10:41 AM, Ron Zinck wrote: Lunies: The person's husband was Lawrence 'Bubbles" Zinck. The person Bob is seeking clarification about is Violet Morash who was born after 1911 and was a daughter of David Shaw ZINCK & Rhoda May MORASH. I have a number of obits for this family, which are at odds with the headstone that Bob cites. A review of these obits indicates that Violet Zinck was alive in 2006 and deceased in 2009. A further complication is that she married her sister Bertha's husband. The records show that Basil and Bertha divorced in 1953 but I have Basil and Violet having children as early as 1935.
