Hi,

I have looked at this message and started to search.
I see the ship records for her and Edwin going to Spain in 1933.
Did they have any children?

Is this Edwin? A copy of the Will might tell you more about any offspring / property in Spain etc.

Yes that is Edwin probate record but I do not have the will. He did have one daughter Elvira  by his first marriage, there was no other children. I do have copies of passenger records for Edwin &  Jeanne prior to his death so please do not waste you valuable time prior to 1948.
