 ) Port Arthur is in Jefferson County, Texas. Now let's check the Texas Birth Index to see if we can find a good match.

 We know this is their daughter Barbara based on the parents names, and that she was born in Nebraska which is relatively rare.  So we have a hit and have evidence showing Laura's maiden name.

	13) Now that we know that Cecil died in California, chances are greater that perhaps his wife also did. We know that she was born about 1892 in Iowa, and her name might have been Laura or Clara maybe with an M initial. So let's see.

We know from the census already that they had : Dorothy 1913, Gerald 1917, Barbara 1920, and Mildred 1923/4. So in the CADI, we just enter surname East, and mother's maiden name Hanson, and 'nothing else'. And we get a hit.
