  • Name Eileen Florence KESLING
    Birth 8 Mar 1927  Pennsylvania Find all individuals with events at this location  [1, 2, 3, 4, 5] 
    • A discrepancy exists regarding the year and place of her birth. The Social Security Death Index gives her birth date as 8 March 1924, and Doddridge County birth records indicate her birth as 8 March 1924 at Big Isaac, with her first name spelled Ilean. That entry appears possibly not to have been made promptly after her birth. However, she was age 3 in the 1930 Census (name spelled Ilean), age 13 in the 1940 Census (Ilene), and age 19 in her 1946 marriage record (Eileen), all of which put her birth in about 1927. Both the 1930 Census and her marriage record state her birthplace as Pennsylvania. The Social Security Applications and Claims Index, shows her birthplace as both Big Isaac and Scranton, Pennsylvania. The birth date on her headstone is 1927.
