I had Elizabeth Wentworth Seaver in my RootsMagic database; she was born 1 August 1911 in Pittsfield, Mass. to Henry Morse Seaver (1873-1947) and Alice Van Vorx Wentworth (1878-1987). However, I did not have information about Elizabeth's marriage and early life.
I went looking for information about Harry and Elizabeth (Seaver) Helfman, and found their social Security Applications records and her Find A Grave memorial, but I didn't find obituaries or many records on Ancestry.com, Findmypast, Elephind, HathiTrust or GenealogyBank. Such is the state of late 20th century records.
Harry Helfman (1910-1995) wrote a number of books - there is a list on Amazon; they are about woodworking and origami. Elizabeth S. Helfman also wrote a number of books - see her list on Amazon. I found short biographies for both of them in The Writer's Directory on Google Books.
Elizabeth died on 15 March 2001 in Medford, New Jersey, and Harry Helfman died 9 June 1995, probably in Medford, New Jersey.
Elizabeth Wentworth (Seaver) Helfman was my 7th cousin three times removed. I added her marriage information and spouse's information into my RootsMagic database. I don't now if they had children.
