Re: Possible sighting of Gwendolyn

I'm wondering if the birth record that Mary found is the right Gwendolyn McDonough. Putting in that birthdate with the given name of Gwendolyn turns up this entry in the Social Security Death Index.

United States Social Security Death Index

I can't find an obituary for her but did find one for her father.
