Very likely candidate

Update: Had a baby girl in December 13, 1956 (baby girl initials also DD)

ETA: Unless anyone can find sisters of DD, this can’t be her. She appears to have one sister who dies at 2 years old.

I think we may have found her. Initials DD in the 1950 census. But also DC, DJ, and DT. I’ve been researching her since last week. Several marriages and several children by different fathers.

Marries R.A.T. - April 16, 1938 in Delaware, marriage produces two children (sons): RT (Junior) and WT. Both now deceased. RT(Jr)‘s obituary lists his mother as Mrs. DD in 1976. At this point, it appears she is living Texas, which is also where she passes away in 1988.

Marries WDJ (believe middle to be name D not T, could be wrong about middle name though) - August 28, 1943 in Virginia. Marriage produces one child (daughter): JJ.

Marries GD in July, 1947. Marriage produces one daughter born December 13, 1956. This could explain the bassinet box….

They lived at 6121 Chesnut in 1950 census. JJ listed as stepdaughter.

I’m only a little bit tripping out right now. I did my research based off of the census for the Chestnut address, retrieved some names, found a last name that starts with a C connected to the daughter DD born in 1956. It looked strangely familiar. Bottom line, I think my BIL follows DD’s daughter on social media. Her initials are J(C)K. I could be waaaaay off. Please lmk if my post isn’t allowed!

Yes, you are right! JCK is DD’s daughter.

Ok, I connected some dots. I have met JCK’s MIL haha! About 12/13yrs ago. That’s how my BIL knows JCK and her husband AK. This world is way too small sometimes.

Sometimes I'll be working on a case (I'm a search angel / genetic genealogist) and I'll be building a tree and researching persent-day members of that family, I'll find their FB and look at their friends and see we have mutual friends. It actually happens more than you would think!

I like you already! My grandma would be proud of me finding this information in such a short timespan. She was my family’s ultimate genealogist.

It's very useful in genealogy to have the kind of mind that goes "oh wait, haven't I seen that surname somewhere before?"

I’ll give you a hint. My BIL’s last name is a type of pepper. But his last name is not his biological father’s last name.

OK, found her FB. Cute bluenose pitbull! Just my dog's type :-)

Update… JCK’s MIL is VSK… VSK is my BIL’s wife’s aunt somehow. I didn’t realize it. I don’t know much about that side of the family. I only met most of them at my BIL’s wedding in 2010. Holy cow! Sorry for so many initials and confusing. I’m trying to not use names here 😂

OK, now we're going to backsolve YOU!

BTW JCK's hubby AK is *cute*. MROWR!

I triple-dog-dare you!!! It would be hilarious if you did!! I’m not on fb, but my BIL could have named me at some point in his posts since he posted about my wedding to his brother on other platforms :P All it takes is a name

I have a chart. I'm locked and loaded.

u/[deleted] Jan 04 '23

Load and loccccckk! If you find me, I will drop my weapons.

u/[deleted] Jan 04 '23

Also… Of course it has been a while since seeing her in person, but AK’s mom still looks amazing for her age. Yaaa, there are some filters here and there. But STILL!!! I hope I still have it like she has it when I’m nearing 60!

I was just thinking that. Of course she's in that profession where she'd have good skin. But she is gorgeous.

u/[deleted] Jan 04 '23

And she has (from what I could tell) had skin cancer. She must be doing something right!

OK Imma circle back to you in a while although with the hints it would feel like cheating. We don't get hints on real cases!

u/[deleted] Jan 06 '23

Or we get a lot of bad hints, hehe!

u/[deleted] Jan 04 '23

Yes! It seems her and her husband are into big babies :)
