Hi Claudia, I'd like to assist you at your query. There is O. Pflaum b. 13.MAY 1901 d. 15.JUN.1949 found in the Social Secuity Index, SSN: 167-03-4884. You should order records there and the birth record in Philadelphia. If you know his parents, I can try to find more in my own Pflaum database which contains some 1000 names and at least 50 Pflaum immigrants.

I've been looking at this for several days wondering how to answer. First I just found your message as I haven't been online with ancestry for several months.
My name is Claudia Pflaum Newman. I was told Oscar Pflaum was my father, I was born in Bremerton, Wa., October 10, 1944. Oscar was working as a civilian employee for the Navy. An aunt told me my mother "followed" him there. I don't know when we returned to Pittsburgh. The only thing I was told about my father was he died when I was 13 months old, 1945. My mother would never talk about him or tell me any thing. It was none of my business, it was private, yea really. I only found he really died in 1949 about 6 months ago. Boy what a surprise. I had also found he had been married before being with my mother and also found his marriage to your mother. What eye opening events.

Hi there......I do believe we are half sisters. I heard about you a long time ago and was told your name...Claudia. Was your mother a school teacher?Our father was married to Margaret Cornelius and had four children...Edward, Marge, Bill and Rick. All from Pittsburg. (the only one left is Marge..she's 84) He left them I was told for your mother. Not sure when. Then he married my mother Nov 14, 1945 in Pittsburg...Margaret Allen. She was about the same age as his children. Shortly after, they moved to Phoenix, AZ where my brother and I were born. You and my brother almost share the same birthday except in 1946..then I was born in 1947. Our dad died in June 13, 1949 from heart failure. I found the first four half siblings some years ago. Apparently after Dad left...they cut all ties with him. So...I never could get much information although I do have some....and pictures. Marge told me our father was a mechanic by trade. Email me at wuncent@cox.net. I would love to hear from you. Where do you live? I live in Glendale, AZ...next door to Phoenix. Pennie
