I had a couple extra days off this week and since Thursday have made a lot of progress in the Mapes-Bera-Morford branch if was researching. I found five obits this morning which helped solve a lot of questions.
With the assistance of the obits mentioned I was able to confirm the whereabouts of both Mildred and Dorothy Mapes. I had known they were living together as of the 1930 census but never knew if they had married etc. after the date it was obtained.
The obits confirmed both had married, and through some simple searching was able to confirm husbands names and a lot of the vital info I was seeking.
Added several new virtual memorials to the cemetery as a result of these discoveries today. Getting close to 580 memorials.
I am proud to say I also made entry number 12,000 this morning in my Family Tree Maker 2010 software I am currently using.
Less than 40 days until the release of the 1940 census. 9AM on Tuesday April 2.
