Some Pertinent Census Data

Related Ramblings, Rabbit Trails,
and Other Miscellanea of Interest




01--An initial search of Findagrave.com for the surname "Millar" yielded 3,873 hits.


02--An initial look at GenForum.com revealed the "Millar Family Genealogy Forum" which had 768 messages posted, the most recent of which was 17 Feb 2013.  Searches within this forum:
A-- for "Gasse" yielded no hits
B--[no Gasse forum has yet been created]


03--An initial search for the surname "Millar" in the 1940 U. S. Census (the most recent census available for research) registered 694,592 hits on Ancestry.com.


04--This once-possibility is NOT Paul's and Charles' father (left partially intact here for future reference):

Findagrave.com Memorial for
Clifford Eckert "Butch" Millar
Find A Grave Memorial# 94003373



05--Here's another possibility for Paul's and Charles' dad:

Birth:  Feb. 1, 1940 His name is Wilson Stanley Millar,
and his widow is Ramona Diane Millar.

Her date of death is still missing on
their dual tombstone, indicating that
she is probably still alive, or at least
was when the photo was taken.

If this is Paul's father, she might know that.

Dennis Hubscher, left, not only created the
memorial, he also posted the photo.  He
might be the place to start.
Death:  Sep. 23, 1995

 
Burial:
Christ Church Durham Parish Cemetery

06--Here are Ancestry.com's records of what must be Paul's and Charles' births.  No given names are listed, and they are the only two males born in San Diego Co., CA, on the given date (deleted here for privacy).  We believe that the mother's maiden name here is incorrect, as this is the FATHER's birth name, not the mother's.  The odds of hers ALSO being Millar are very small indeed.

Name: Millar
Birth Date:
Gender: Male
Mother's Maiden Name: Millar
Birth County: San Diego
Name: Millar
Birth Date:
Gender: Male
Mother's Maiden Name: Millar
Birth County: San Diego



07--These look good.  In fact, they're the couple (from the list below in item 08) that comes closest on the criteria (his last name, the date of marriage, the approximate ages, and ages being four years apart):

Comparing Data to
Paul's Parents'
Name: George F Millar Mr. Millar
Age in May 1965: 23 24
Est. Birth: abt 1942 abt 1941
Spouse Name: Sandra Hamilton Mrs. Millar
Spouse Age in 1965: 19 21
Est. Spouse Birth: abt 1946 abt 1944
Date of Marriage: 8 May 1965
Location: San Diego
Registrar:
San Diego County #2779

State File No.
45036


.
Comparing these dates to what we have so far about the real parents' dates of birth,

Paul's father was born about 1941 and this George F. Millar was born about 1942, about one year's difference.

Paul's mother was born about 1944 and this Sandra Hamilton was born about 1946, about two year's difference.

Depending on ther actual dates of birth (day, month, and year), both of these differences are within the margin-of-error of two years and increases the possibility that these could actually be the birth parents.

Here's the link to the photocopy of the actual page:

08--OK, here are the 19 remaining couples of the top 50 of the 98,000 hits from which I got the above couple, in case you want to investigate more than just the above.  I deleted the other 31 that either have the surnames switched or who are in the wrong decade:

09--Wow.  Here's part of the text from the page at this URL:
http://archive.org/stream/alumninews162bost/alumninews162bost_djvu.txt

It contains a list of contributors to the Boston College Alumni Association.
One of the contributors is a George F. Millar, M.D.!  It would make sense that he, a navy officer stationed at San Diego and in a relationship with a nurse, would be a doctor!


Too bad.  Closer investigation shows that this is for the class of 1951-1952, and the contributors are from even earlier classes (from the 20's and 30's). But he could be the parent of the naval officer, Paul's birth father.

12--This is a summary of an adoption case where Theodore Teacher and two others represented a mother who had consented to the adoption of her child, then withdrew her consent in order to keep custody of the child herself.  I include this to show that Theodore Teacher was likely an experienced adoption attorney and that perhaps such a summary of Paul's and Charles' hearing procedures likely exists.  However, my search for <"theodore teacher" gasse> yielded only one hit, which hit was not relevant.
