The International Genealogical Index was a family history database that listed several hundred million names of deceased persons from throughout the world. Names in the IGI came from two sources: Community Indexed and Community Contributed. The Community Contributed IGI contained family information submitted by members to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Although we have often found the contributed information to be unreliable, inaccurate or incomplete, we consider the information a possible clue as we research. (Salt Lake City, Utah: www.familysearch.org), accuracy not known, although considered very plausible by this researcher; record was submitted to the IGI after 1991 by an unidentified member of the LDS Church.

Research Notes* Her birth registration recorded her surname as STEVENS, and James Emery Stevens Jr. certainly raised her as his daughter. Her conception, however, probably occurred in January 1935, about a month after her mother, Vera Dowis Welcome's, marriage to Joseph A. Snyder, whom we suspect was likely Emajean's biological father.2,3

Family
Father*James E. Stevens3 b. 8 Jul 1883, d. 5 Jun 1963
Mother*Edith M. Whitaker3 b. 18 Mar 1892, d. 12 Dec 1977
Birth*14 August 1913James Emery Stevens Jr. was born on 14 August 1913 in San Diego County, California.4 
Name VariationHis full name was James Emery Stevens Jr.4,5 
Marriage*He married first, as her second husband, Vera Welcome, daughter of James Dowis and Lyndall R. Carner.4 
(Father) Research NotesThe birth registration for Emajean Stevens, who was born on 12 October 1935 in San Diego County, California, recorded her surname as STEVENS, and James Emery Stevens Jr. certainly raised her as his daughter. Her conception, however, probably occurred in January 1935, about a month after her mother, Vera Dowis Welcome's, marriage to Joseph A. Snyder, whom we suspect was likely Emajean's biological father.6,1 
Census US 1940*8 April 1940Vera E. and James E. Stevens Jr. were enumerated on the 1940 census taken on 8 April 1940 at 822 E. 5th Street, National City, San Diego County, California. James was 26 years of age and worked for wages as a clerk in a privately owned retail grocery store, and Vera was 24 years of age and worked doing her home housework. James had completed his education through the 1st year of College, and Vera had completed her education through the 2nd year of College. James had worked 60 hours the week before the census was taken, and 52 weeks, for an income of $1,300, in 1939. They owned their house, which was valued at $1,500, and was not on a farm. On 1 April 1935, James had lived in National City, California, and Vera had lived in Phoenix, Arizona. Three children were enumerated with the couple in 1940. Their daughters, Emajean and Verna Merle, were ages 4 and 2 years, respectively, and their son, James III, was one year old.1 
Residence*1941James E. Stevens Jr., a clerk at the A & P Tea Company, and Vera, were listed at 822 E. 5th Street, National City, in the City Directory for San Diego County, California, for the year 1941.7,8,9,10 
Divorce*James and Vera Esther Stevens separated, and were probably divorced shortly after the birth of their daughter, Penny. Vera moved away, leaving all of the children with James.2 
Census US 1950*6 April 1950James Stevens was enumerated on the 1950 census taken on 6 April 1950 at 2210 E. 4th Avenue, National City, San Diego County, California. He was 36 years of age, divorced, worked as a Manager of his own Retail Grocery, and had worked 60 hours the week before the census was taken. His line number was selected for supplemental information, and he reported he had not lived on a farm, nor in the same house, although he had lived in the same county, one year before. He had completed his 1st year of College, had worked a total of 52 weeks and earned a total of $6,500 working as an employee for wages or salary in 1949, and had not yet owned his business in 1949.Hiis four children were enumerated with him in 1950. Emajean and Verna M. were ages 14 and 12 years, respectively, and James III and Penny J. were ages 11 and 6 years, respectively.2 
Marriage*1951He married second, as her second husband, Blanche E. Friel, daughter of Harry Friel and Marie Livingston, about 1951.11,12,13,14,15
