Show DAILY HERALD D2 Kerr originally from Norway. But here in the United States, Walter spelled his surname Mark. Walter's father created a document stating the name was originally Murk but was now Mork. Is it no wonder thenthat we sometimes ? have difficulty As near as I can tell, Helen Gabrielle Fischl did not have a single official document with both her correct name and correct date of birth. What can we learn from her about how to research more efficiently? Several things. Read names phonetically. Ignore vowels. Search indexes by consonants only. For example, Helen should be searched Halen, Helyn as she spelled it, Hilin, Elena, eta A search for the surname Murk in an index should include Mark, Mirk, Mork, maybe even Myrk, eta We can learn from Helen to fudge dates. People often lied about their ages to get married as Helen did, but also to enlist Continued from D l worked in a parachute factory that had been a dress factory. Bur. she had to have a birth certificated prove -to work there. She was able to acquire her baptism certificate from a Catholic Church in Allenlown, Pa. Since she was 3 months old when baptized, she had. two different dates. Her mother created an affidavit for her when she was about twenty four years old with her original name on it but also acknowledging that she was called Hetyn fihding-rtfitives- Grace. Earlier, she married Roy H. Steinberg and had two children. She was only 16 at the time, so she lied about her age. When the divorce came, the son went with the father, the daughter with Helen. Later, Helen married Walter Murk, Saturday, October 13. 2007 either to get in or to stay in the military out, to get jobs with age requirements, to get drivers' licenses, etc. Even if I have a specific date, I research with a bubble of about two years to either side. And if a record should be in the place I am searching but cant be found in that five-yeperiod, I add on another few years. We learn that locating both of Helen's children in public records might be difficult since one went with the father who presumably married again, and the other was incorporated into the Mork family. What surname did the daughter use? Understanding demographics such as that from the Census Bureau as well as individual experiences such as Helen's, dictate genealogists' sleuthing activities. ar I LaRat Fret Kerr can be reached at Itsallrelativessfcn.org or at Itsallrelatives.us, our Web site.
