Few clues on adopted profile - Fulkerson-139

Question

I adopted this profile, but, as Scott Fulkerson who took on another with few clues, I am stumped.  Any date suggestions?  Any location suggestions?  If there is anything to the Walter Floyd Fulkerson connection in California, I found two California records for Gail L Fulkerson

"California Marriage Index, 1960-1985," database, FamilySearch (https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:V68D-D8C : 27 November 2014), Henry R Vanhorn and Gail L Fulkerson, 07 Nov 1970; from "California, Marriage Index, 1960-1985," database and images, Ancestry (http://www.ancestry.com : 2007); citing Los Angeles City, California, Center of Health Statistics, California Department of Health Services, Sacramento. 

"California Divorce Index, 1966-1984," database, FamilySearch (https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:VPTN-KFJ : 15 May 2014), Gail L Fulkerson and Henry P Vanhorn, Aug 1972; from "California Divorce Index, 1966-1984," database and images, Ancestry (http://www.ancestry.com : 2007); citing Los Angeles City, California, Health Statistics, California Department of Health Services, Sacramento. 

Any suggestions appreciated!

Answer 1

Christophe, Gail, Valerie and Kimberly .

 

Those were all part of the same family. Look in the original creators profile then click on contributions. You will find those 4 profile created together

Thanks, Lance.  I'd noticed that but there isn't much to go on on any of the four profiles.

Yes I see they have been working on Christopher for a year

Found Chris in Arkansas. I would try Gail Chesser. She is listed as his friend on Facebook.

How did you confirm this was the correct Christopher?

His name is Chris Junior Fulkerson. Do a google search and add Arkansas. You will see he has a sister named Kimbery and Valerie Hastings.

 

The steps I took were first to build the profile of Walter Lloyd Fulkerson on Wikitree. I thought I would get acquainted with all of the names.

Then I used CA Birth Index to check all of the Fulkersons born in California to see if I could see anyone on our list, or interesting crossovers with maiden names.

That turned up nothing so, so I then went to Facebook and chose what I thought would be the most rare name Valerie Fulkerson and searched for her. A list of them turned up, but I only saw one of them that had what appeared to be a maiden name for Fulkerson. I looked at her friends and found that she had friends listed with all of the correct first names and I noted she lived in Arkansas as did her friend Chris Fulkerson.

Then I did the google search for Christopher Fulkerson in Arkansas and that showed me on some of the pages people he knew and a middle name of Junior which pretty much sealed it for me. Of course, there is no way to prove who was intended by the creator without asking him, but this looks like the best connected family.

I still do not know how they connect back to Walter Lloyd, but my guess is they might have been distant cousins and someone might have been searching for living relatives. I do it all the time.

Thank you all for your help in finding these lost cousins!

Thanks for all the help.  It makes a lot of sense the way it is coming together.

Answer 2

They are both still alive. Henry Rosser VanHorn re married 1973 to Linda A Nath. He still lives in California born Sep 6, 1948.

 

Gail Lyn VanHorn remarried 1981 in Florida, lives Texas. Her year of birth by public records is 1954
