I suppose it's really none of my business, but I still wonder. Stella and George had a daughter together and then divorced. The daughter, Cordella, is listed on the 1920 census with her maternal grandfather, mother and step-father. She is on the census with her mother and step-father in 1930 and 1940. In 1940 she is listed with her step-father's surname. Did he adopt her?
I found her obituary and she lists her stepfather as her father.
I found her biological father on the census. He remarried shortly after 1920 to a woman with the same name as his first wife. They had two children together.
The half-brother and sister are not listed in Cordella's obituary. Did she know about them?
HOLY MOLY! I just discovered Stella's second husband is my 6th cousin. She is my 4th cousin 1x removed.
