Re: Finding a Long Lost Cousin - Unraveling a Clue #general

Hello Carl,
On Ancestry, I found that Norma died in New Jersey. Then I checked Newspapers.com and found several articles about her including one about the death of her daughter due to a car accident. The newspaper articles identified her husband as Herbert Rabinowitz, who also died in New Jersey. I did not find a marriage record. I did however, find a marriage record for her parents ( see below) Also, the 1920 census provides names of siblings for Bertha and other famly members, which may be helpful in tracking down long lost family members. (see census record below)
