Good Elizabeth, William Duncan, and even William A. Duncan certainly is a common name. It's amazing how many we found on the Social Security death index, in just the Los Angeles area. 

Best wishes,

Richard Bauman

Good Elizabeth: The children listed in the 1930 census were all the children William and Elizabeth Duncan had. William Duncan Jr, married Mary Lou (or Marylou) maiden name unknown, in about 1946. Betty (Elizabeth) married William (Bill) LaForge, a doctor, and Donald Duncan (Donna's father) married Angelus Elordi in August 1940 in Salt Lake City. Donna has a copy of their marriage certificate.

Good Elizabeth, you are a dynamo at genealogy. Thank you so much for the information you found on Donna's family. I'm sure she will try to contact her cousins to gather more info.
