    Originally, before I received the information above, the Birth year was calculated from the Birth Certificate for Blanche (Oct. 13, 1903) On that certificate, she states that she is 37 years old and that she was born in Chicago, Ill.. Also, the birth date on her headstone and death certificate are not consistent with her birth/baptism record.

    Immigration: According to the 1920 Fed. Census for IL, she came to the US in
    1870 and was naturalized in 1888. However, see "Arrival" below:
