Tammy--Thanks for clearing up some of the question. I have gotten info from the Family Tree Maker. I am helping a friend locate information on her family. Bernice may have been born in St. Louis about 1920-23. She left St. Louis in the early 1940s (under unusual circumstances) & was heard of in Seattle from 1942, 43. I have located a Bernice Paro who married in 1943 in Maine to a Frank Meserve. I will be travelling but if you email me at twosmr@aol.com I will give you more info.
