I find 2 files through SSI.  Same parent names on each (spelled differently) but social numbers are different as birthplaces are different.

One says the signature is different than the name holder and show that as William II. I show her husband's (William A. Thomas) father as a John.  If there is a William II, I have not connected to him as of yet...maybe and unlce or grandfather.

UGH!! I wish my family would've asked more questions. I seem to be the only one interested in our history.

Sorry, but I couldn't find anything more.

What do you think "Signature name differs from NH’s name" means? NH?

I also find another record from SS that shows same names all around but a different social :(

Jamie

I found it online--NH means "number holder."
Thank you for the reply!  Jamie
That's probably correct!

Hello Jamie.

Your grandmother Sally Bell had more siblings than the ones you added to WikiTree as can be seen in the US Census records below:


  • 1930 - Will, Lizzie and children, Polk Co., AR

Household Role Sex Age Birthplace

William A Thomas Head M 49 Arkansas

Clyde Thomas Son M 0 Arkansas

According to the 1900 US Census, Will and Lizzie married ab. 1906.

There is a Lizzie Blanchard in the 1910 US Census, in the same County (Little River, AR) with her siblings in the house of a brother in law. There is also her father U R Blanchard (taking a closer look to the original document, it is not W R. There can be seen there was an issue with her birth year as well). I think he is the Uriah Blanchard on Nelda's answer.

Thank you for your help! It's just so hard to tell without birthdates and such. Keeping it marked though, just in case!
