Texas Birth Index- Mendenhall Surname, Part 21 (1928 & 1929)

~1928~

~Doris Evylin Mendenhall- Unknown relation

Unfortunately, I couldn't find the connection between Doris and my tree. Her father was Earl C. Mendenhall, born 1902 in Hubbard, Texas (source- Mendenhall.org) and her mother was Eula "Bobbie" Linville (1906-1930). They were married December 25, 1923 and they had two children:

1. Doris Evylin- born 13 Jan 1928

2. Billie Earl Mendenhall- born 10 Apr 1930

I couldn't find any information on Earl's parents or beyond, so it's a dead-end for now.
