Florence Walborg Christiansen born 1922 in Greenfield, Mass. was my 1st cousin once removed. I believe Florence married a Stanley Golden in the 1940s, I see a child, Robert, being born in 1948.
**
Can anybody find details of the marriage please? Florence was in New York for the 1940 census, so I'm guessing the ceremony was in New York.
**
Additional information about the respective families will be much appreciated.
Thanks
Richard
****EDIT**** We don't know the full date of birth, but we do know she was born in 1922.

Same birth month but 2 years out on year -   SSDI - Florence Golden -  22 March 1924 passed away August 1992 - Brooklyn Kings New York.

Anc tree quotes Florence Walborg Christiansen   1922–1992

born 30 March1922 - Greenfield, Franklin, Massachusetts.
passed away  August 1992 - Brooklyn, Kings, New York.

U.S., Social Security Applications and Claims Index, 1936-2007 show - Florence Reckson
Florence Golden - parents - Morris Reckson - Mother Eva Frank which would prove the ancestry tree wrong.  ::)

No marriage records on line for the time frame you are looking.

Have you tried http://www.fultonhistory.com/fulton.html to see if there might be an accountant of the marriage on there ?

Thanks Sandra. You found my tree.
But looking at the SS Death record, I see this:
"Name:    Florence Reckson
[Florence Golden]
SSN:    127144040
Gender:    Female
Race:    White
Birth Date:    30 Mar 1924
Birth Place:    Brooklyn, New York
[Brooklyn Kin??, New York]
Death Date:    Aug 1992
Father:    Morris Reckson
Mother:    Eva Frank"
**
And there is a Florence Reckson in the 1940 and 1930 census. I was going on the same day/month for birth and thought there was a mistake, but now I am questioning my logic.

There are about 19 people listed born on the 30 March 1922 and listed on the SSDI Index - various surnames - none with a middle name Walborg - none that seem to match

The Mass. birth record for her is Walborg F Christiansen in Greenfield; year 1922 vol 47 page 327.

I'll change the search parameters and see what I get.

What's odd is that I just connected to someone through DNA and I was sure this was the connection. I'm not so smart after all.  ::)

Perhaps I should send for the birth certificate for Walborg Florence Christiansen to get her exact date of birth.
At least we should be able to get a SSN from that. Right?
**
My "new" relative (via DNA) is sure of the Golden/Christiansen connection.
I even have a letter from 1985/6 to my aunt Betty, sister of Walborg, from a member of the Golden family.
