I looked at your other postings in an effort to find additional information on these people, without success. Your 8 postings indicate your new to genealogy research (or at least limited postings under this name).
When you post an inquiry, it is so important to provide specific information about the people you search, especially if they have common names. As an example, the Social Security Death Index has 21 Betty
Danner. Betty, as a name is sometimes a nickname for Elizabeth
If you know their date of birth, that is great, even just a year, or approximate year. Such as, Betty graduated Kennewick High School in 1888. Do you know when and where she married?
With your indication "Both are apparently dead now", I did a search for Richard
Milan with the "assumption" he "might" have been born prior to the 1930 Census. I find seven, none living in
Washington or married to a
Verna.
Now, I throw in a search using wild card, looking for ANY Rich* Mil* (where the * allows any letters following). In the
Washington Death Index I find:
Richard A. MilaM (ends in "M"), died 27 July 1987 at age 75, residence was Kennewick.
Verna L. MilaM, died 27 June 1991 in Kennewick at age 79. SSN was 333-24-7861, issued in
Illinois. She was born 13 Sep 1911.
--You can obtain obituaries for these two, which should identify a location for children:
The
Washington State Library has a free research service, the ask-a-librarian program, where they will look for information in the archives, in this case the newspaper microfilm for an event, such as an obituary. They will look up to an hour and send you the results. Contact them at:
