- I am new to the net. I'm asking for any info or suggestions on a line
- I've been working on for a long time.
-
- Frederick Leon SILVERS is my maternal grandfather. On marriage
- application, to Delza Elaine BRASHER, he states he was born in IN, father:
- Dwight SILVERS, mother: Maggie L. CUMMINGS; married in San Diego, CA, 14
- September 1931, age 21. Parents both born in IN. Fred L SILVERS lists
- himself as 21 on my mother's birth certificate the following March 1932.
-
- In papers filed at time of divorce, address was listed where legal
- documents could be sent: 1315 Brookside, Indianapolis, IN. City directory
- lists this as address of Elvia B. CUMMINS, widow of Marion, from 1918
- through 1942, when Elvia died. Elvia's obit for 1942 lists a Maggie
- VIERECK as a survivor, who I have been assuming is the same as Maggie L.
- CUMMINS who was married to Dwight.
-
- I have followed back several generations Marion and Elvia CUMMINS, on the
- assumtion that they are my maternal ggparents. BUT, Frederick Leon
- SILVERS disappeared following the divorce. My grandmother and mother
- refuse to discuss him. The VIERECK's disappear out of the Indianapolis
- City Directory in the 1970's (before I found them there). IN says they
- have no birth certificate for a Frederick Leon SILVERS. He is not listed
- in IGI, or other Family Search files at LDS, including Social Security
- Death Index. Assuming he told truth about age, he should have been born
- in 1910/11.

- Ideas? Suggestions? Help?!
