Note:

Florence Eva BROOKS (named for her mothers sister) Grammy always insisted her name was Eva.

(some records are Eva Florence and birth record has Florence Eva. Offically changed to Eva Bradford Brooks during divorce)

Carmel, vital records birth record has 1892/1894 - she used 1893

Went by Eva her entire life. She was named after her mothers sister, Eva Florence.

After parents divorced she lived with her Grandmother Eliza Bradford for many years and considered herself a BRADFORD. Consequently, her last name appears as Bradford rather than Brooks in several documents.(per her mothers divorce name is changed to Eva Bradford Brooks) Per daughter-in law Nancy - Eva was a beautiful woman when she was young.
