Do you know anything more about their ages or when they visited?

There is a Eunice Vories on the Social Security Death Index with a last residence in La Veda.  She was born 30 Aug 1920 and died Feb 1996.  Her Social Security number was issued in Colorado before 1951.  She didn't seem to turn up on the 1930 Census, so maybe Vories was her married name?

There seem to be multiple Maybelles and Hals.  There was one Maybelle who looked to be married to a George, so I guess that's not yours.  There's another one whose last residence was Livermore, Alameda Co., California, born 13 Sep 1909 and died 13 Sep 2000.  Could that be her?

Maybelle Edith Wells born 13 Sept.1909 died 13 Sept.2000. She was born in California, father's surname Toreson, mother's surname Jacobs.

Also, Maybelle M. Wells born 11 Oct.1894 Missouri, died 3 July 1957 Los Angeles Co., Ca. Father- Johnson, mother- Rockwood.

Maybelle Cleora Wells born 8 Aug.1889 Idaho died 28 Nov.1989 Inyo Co., Ca. Father- Smith, mother- Gown.

Hal Dawson Wells born 14 June 1901 Ca. died 24 May 1979 Fresno Co., Ca.
Hal R. Wells born 6 Oct.1887 Iowa, died 25 Apr.1949 Los Angeles Co., Ca. Father- Wells, mother- Fish.
Hal T. Wells born 30 Mar.1896 Ohio, died 28 Nov.1969 Los Angeles Co., Ca. Mother- Trainer.

Any of these any use? (Couldn't find Eunice Vories in California deaths.)
Away sorting out DNA matches... I may be gone for some time many years!

If you do a Yahoo people search for Vories in California, 3 come up. It's worth a shot to write to them. I wouldn't think it is a common surname. In the entire US, only 69 come up.
