I opened the RootsMagic Web Hints for Ancestry.com for Willard, and saw:
I clicked on the "View Online" button to see the 1940 census record, and scrolled down:
There was a spouse and two children. Donabel was the name of the spouse, age 24, and they had twins Barbara and Bonnie aged 7 months old. I clicked on Donabel's name to show me more of her information and the Suggested Records (if any):
Aha, a birth state and five suggested records. Among them are the Social Security Applications and claims record for Donabel Bedal Auble:
Ah, a birth date, birth place, death date, and parents names for Donabel.
Plus a Find A Grave memorial, with the death and burial place. After adding Donabel Bedal to my Ancestry Member Tree, a quick search revealed a middle name - Dolores - in an Ancestry Member Tree that had the same birth and death information and parents names.
Five minutes is all this took - I wish they were all this easy. RootsMagic's WebHints work well, and Ancestry.com has excellent tools to solve problems like this - it just takes one record to open up other records.
Now I need to track down their children for my Auble surname study.

Disclosure: I have a complimentary all-access subscription from Ancestry.com, for which I am thankful. Ancestry.com has provided material considerations for travel expenses to meetings, and has hosted events and meals that I have attended in Salt Lake City, in past years.
