I am researching a biography of film and theater actress Mae Murray, who was purportedly born Marie Adrienne Koenig in Portsmouth, Virginia, on May 10, 1889.

I have been unable to find any verification in Virginia records; she covered her tracks so well I have not even been able to verify the place or date, or the names of her parents! All I have been able to find is that she had a brother named Bill, and her father supposedly died around 1893.

I'd be hugely grateful if anyone could steer me in the right direction--thanks!
