Research Notes (Conflicts/Spelling/Followup)

FOLLOWUP

Meryle's father was Jess L. Marshall (b. Missouri) and her mother was Nell M. Calbetzor (b. Indiana). [marriage-johnson-marshall-1940]

Her parent's surnames of Marshall and Calbetzor are also noted in the California death index. [death-npri-meryle-griffith-1997]

Albert and Meryle Griffith filed for divorce in Jan 1976. (from California divorce index)

Moses and Meryle Karam filed for divorce about 1 Dec 1978. (from California divorce index)

The Social Security ACI shows information for Meryle Ellen Marshall, born 15 Aug 1920 in Los Angeles, died 21 Apr 1997, father Jess L Marshall, and mother Nell M Calbetzor. It shows her name changes starting with her birth surname Marshall in 1938, to Rucker in 1950, to Bogues in 1952, to Griffith in 1959, and to Karam in 1978. The only conflict is her birth year (1920 instead of 1921) and Johnson isn't listed here. As will all index sources, access to the actual data/certificate may be impossible for a non-descendent. Note also that the date of registered name change is not generally the same date as the marriage, but should follow it (and be before the next marriage).
