Family of William Henry LAMBERT and Elnor Louise KEPLINGER

William Henry LAMBERT b. 1911 Apr 27²¹⁵⁹ at Jefferson Co., WA¹⁶⁸⁸. d. 1990 Mar 2⁵²⁷ at Nevada (City), CA⁵²⁷.
Elnor Louise KEPLINGER b. 1909 Dec 9²⁷⁶⁵ at Salt Lake City, UT²⁷⁶⁵. d. 2002 Oct 17⁹².

The social security death index for Elnor Lambert lists her birth date which exactly matches the birthdate for Elnor Keplinger as listed in a passenger list²⁷⁶⁵. Another passenger list²⁷⁶⁷ lists William Lambert and Elnor Lambert. This information leads to the birth index²⁵⁷¹ entry for Beverly Louise Lambert, which lists her father William Henry Lambert and her mother Elnor Louise Keplinger. In 1937, Elnor Keplinger is listed²⁷⁶⁵ as single. Their daughter Beverly (Lambert) Cantrill provided²⁷⁷⁹ the marriage date and location.

Locations given for William are the birthplaces and dates for his children. It is assumed he was in those locations about the time of their birth. His birth date is based on public records²¹⁵⁹, specifically his residence at 537 Coyote St, Nevada City, CA, which is the same address as listed²¹⁵⁹ for Elnor L Lambert (with her known birthdate) in 1993. With a birthdate, one finds William's death index⁵²⁷ entry which lists his birth in Washington (state) and mother's maiden name of Conklin. His parents names are then determined from his birth index¹⁶⁸⁸

In 1937, Elnor is listed²⁷⁶⁵ aboard the SS President Garfield, from New York to San Pedro. That record lists her birthdate and birthplace. At that time, her US address was 1314 Mass Ave NW, Washington, DC. In 1953, "Elnar" L Lambert and daughters are listed²⁷⁶⁸ as passengers on the USNS Frederick Funston from Yokohama, Japan, to Seattle, Washington. Their ages and birthplaces are listed in that record. Originally APA-89, and attack transport in WWII, the Frederick Funston was commissioned in 1943. Later used in noncommissioned status with a Civil Service crew, the Frederick Funston, T-AP-178, was used to transport troops and dependents and saw some service during the Korean War.
