There is a similar card for William Morgan.  He stated that he lived in the U.S. from birth to 1903.  No mention of May accompanying them.

I don't see May/Mae in 1930 nor 1940.  Not sure why.   ???

Would you be able to give suggestions of the town in which she may have been born, please?

1930 census
https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:33S7-9RCF-DBY?cc=1810731

1940 census [a rather inaccurate statement of her age]
https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3QS7-89M1-Q83D?mode=g&i=11&cc=2000219

She was born in Geneseo Twsp., Cerro Gordo County, Iowa.  As a matter of fact, she was in the process of being born on the day the census was taken; her mother was recorded as "in childbirth."

Gertrude was Nellie's older sister.  I know about her marriages and death.

Nellie May seemed to prefer the c1888 birth year.  In 1930, she stated that she was 42 and she was age 25 when she married, which would have been around 1913.

I cannot yet find her 1915 immigration record, but if she did immigrate c1915, perhaps her husband either died/they divorced/she left him around that time.

Have you been able to find any of the Morgans (married sisters, too) in city directories c1910-1915?

In 1940, Mae Morgan stated she was living in Davenport, Lincoln County, Washington c1935.  Was this near family members?

I probably should leave for a bit, but as the day goes on, I will briefly return for breaks from gardening.
