As is typical with online trees, there is no source listed. Contacting the owner of the tree is likely to be fruitless, as his last log in was "Over a year ago."<br /><br />However, a searh of the Social Security Death Master File (http://ssdmf.info/) produced one Edith born on that date who received her Social Security Number in the state of California (the most likely place): "EDITH OTT was born 25 September 1903, got Social Security number 562-10-2970 (indicating California,) and died October 1971."<br /><br />I then search the California Death Index at Ancestry.com and found the following: Name: Edith M Ott; Social Security #: 562102970; Gender: Female; Birth Date: 25 Sep 1903; Birth Place: California; Death Date: 2 Oct 1971; Death Place: Los Angeles (county).<br /><br />The Social Security Death Index on Ancestry.com lists her last residence as Montrose, Los Angeles, California.<br /><br />Hope this helps!Gerald Cohailnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26204193.post-77842881392039045462012-11-03T08:32:51.685-07:002012-11-03T08:32:51.685-07:00Thank you for today's blog.

I hope you will post about this one day.<br /><br />You have superior and more sophisticated skills than I can probably comprehend but I thought I would ask anyway.<br /><br />I think the comment person Joel found your Edith.

Now look at the 1940 census for Noble and Edith Bassett. He is born in Illinois and she is born in California. Definitely doesn't prove anything but might be an interesting lead to follow. http://interactive.ancestry.com/2442/m-t0627-00352-00478/71477120?backurl=http%3a%2f%2fsearch.ancestry.com%2fcgi-bin%2fsse.dll%3frank%3d1%26new%3d1%26MSAV%3d1%26msT%3d1%26gss%3dangs-g%26gsfn%3dedith%26msrpn__ftp%3dcalifornia%26cpxt%3d0%26catBucket%3drstp%26uidh%3dfmg%26cp%3d0%26mssng0%3dnoble%26pcat%3dROOT_CATEGORY%26h%3d71477120%26db%3d1940usfedcen%26indiv%3d1&ssrc=&backlabel=ReturnRecordAlissa Boothnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26204193.post-79326623632240797322012-11-02T12:58:53.321-07:002012-11-02T12:58:53.321-07:00I searched for Edith in 1930 in CA since her broth...I searched for Edith in 1930 in CA since her brother and parents are there. I searched by first name and places of birth for parents and age. I found an Edith M born about 1905 married to a Noble Seafin. Here's the link.
