Looking for Parents for Marie Helen MCALLISTER or FOX

Linda77925

Hello, I am searching for the parents of my grandmother, Marie Helen MCALLISTER or FOX. She was born in Oregon, United States, lived in San Francisco, California, United States until late 1940s and lived in Willows, California, United States until 1983. She lived for a short time in Woodland Hills in Southern California, United States just before her death in 1983.

What I know about her is from the following sources I have in the FamilySearch database: In the California, Napa and Butte Counties, Obituaries, 1866-1992 it states her birth was September 18, 1895 in Oregon, United States; the Find a Grave memorial number 141004901 shows she was born in Portland, Multnomah, Oregon, United States. According to the California Death Index, 1940-1997 her mother’s maiden name is MCALLISTER and her father’s name is FOX. In the United States, Social Security Numerical Identification Files (NUMIDENT), 1936-2007, a record for her son Eugene John SNOW, her name appears as Marie H MCALLISTER.

I need records with birth or death information for her father, whose last name is FOX and for her mother, whose maiden name is MCALLISTER.

I would appreciate any suggestions for research or where I may find pertinent documents.

Sincerely,

Linda (name removed)

Do you have the PID #?  There are a lot of different possibilities.  Could be her mother remarried after she was born so Marie could have the mother's last name McCallister.  Then the father adopted her and she took the name Fox.  Or Marie choose to use her mothers maiden name and her fathers last name.  The NUMIDENT records could show several last names, those records have a LOT of information that could help figure out what is going on.  If you can get the PID # I could take a look at it for you.  The PID # (Personal ID#) Will show right below her name, usually 4 numbers/letters a dash then 4 numbers/letters.
