Proposed Change: David Jacob Eisenhower (I103253) Tree: Südpfalz / Southern Palatinate Link: http://www.birkenhoerdt.net/getperson.php?personID=I103253&tree=Suedpfalz Description: In researching various gedcoms, they state that Roy J. married Edna Alice Shade. I found presidential papers online that state she was the wife of Roy. Link: http://www.eisenhowermemorial.org/presidential-papers/first-term/documents/1994.cfm Document #1994; September 22, 1956 To Edna Alice Shade Eisenhower Series: EM, AWF, DDE Diaries Series The Papers of Dwight David Eisenhower, Volume XVII - The Presidency: The Middle Way Part X: Cracks in the Alliance; May 1956 to September 1956 Chapter 21: "Grave difficulties in the Suez crisis" Dear Edna: Please don't worry about "causing any trouble."1 Actually, Louise had me in her "doghouse" for a long time because of that Family Chart.2 I never have been able to understand why people should be so disturbed by the truth. It was fun to see young Bud and his wife in San Francisco.3 I wish we could have had more time to visit with them. Give my best to all your youngsters when you write. Mamie joins me in much love to you. As ever 1 The wife of the President's late brother Roy had apologized for the family chart's appearance in Bela Kornitzer's book, The Great American Heritage. Kornitzer, she explained, did not "keep his word" with her (Sept. 19, 1956, AWF/N). For background on the Eisenhower brothers' interviews with Kornitzer see no. 288; on other problems with the chart see no. 400. ******** Edna's birth year ranges from 1891 to 1896 according to various gedcoms. I did find a 1920 Kansas census: United States Census, 1920 for Roy J Eisenhower Search collectionName: Roy J EisenhowerResidence: , Geary, Kansas Estimated Birth Year: 1893 Age: 27 Birthplace: Kansas Relationship to Head of Household: Self Gender: Male Race: White Marital Status: Married Father's Birthplace: Pennsylvania Mother's Birthplace: West Virginia (should be VA) Film Number: 1820533 Digital Folder Number: 4300850 Image Number: 00138 Sheet Number: 18 Household Gender AgeRoy J Eisenhower M 27y Spouse Edna Eisenhower F 28y Child Patricia Eisenhower F 1y5m
