Hello everyone.

I am trying to research my husband's great grandmother. We don't know much about her and what little we do know, we're not even sure if we have that right.

We have information from her death certificate showing her as:

Goldie Shyplay
b. 1 Oct 1897
d. Jan 1980 Cook Co. Illinois

We believe she married Ralph Gronlund b. 27 May 1896. One of their children's names was Clifford E. Gronlund b. 22 Jan 1919 d. Oct 1985.

We're not sure if Shyplay was even her name or how it was actually supposed to be spelled. Rumor has it, she was originally from Indiana and around 1910 moved to Chicago and lived at St. Vincent's Orphanage, but again we are not positive about that.

Any help would be very much appreciated. We're trying to find more about Goldie Shyplay and her parents.

Thanks!
