Harriet McHenry marriages
« on: Monday 27 August 18 05:01 BST (UK) »
Hello everyone.

I'm trying to sort out my great grandmother's marriages (on my dad's side of the family). I know she was married 4 times. My grandma recently started developing dementia and told me what little she could remember.

My great grandmother Harriet E. MCHENRY, was born 3/12/1911 in Bloomsburg, PA. She died 8/14/1991 in Berwick, PA.

I know her one husband was Clarence L. BERLIN, and my grandma said two of her other husbands last names were STINER and SWANK. She couldn't remember their first names or anything about the 4th husband, only that the marriages would've been in Pennsylvania.

Trying to find this information about her has been proving to be difficult. I'm looking to find info on her marriages, such as dates and places and hopefully uncover the 4th husband's name. I've done what I could do, but have hit a brick wall. Can anyone help me out?

Thank you.  :)
