Searching HERDAN USA

To all the searching experts out there....

Thanks to the new Social Security Application index on Ancestry I
have found info on a number of family members, for which I have
been searching for several years. So far this morning only had
time to delve into one but having trouble finding anything further
on her.

Evaline DECHTER born St Paul MN May 26, 1895, parents Abraham
DECHTER & Goldie GOODMAN. I have her birth record from MN, census
records for her through 1930 in St Paul and address book listings
through the mid 30s, also in St. Paul. The last city directory
listing I see for her is 1938 in the Los Angeles area, which
makes sense to me as a number of her (I believe) cousins ended up
there in that time frame.

After that the trail had gone cold for me, couldn't find marriage
or death info. On the new index I have found her under Evaline M.
HERDAN, death November 1998. Last known address in California.
Apparently her SSN was issued in New Mexico which I find somewhat
odd.

And now the trail has gone cold again. I presume she married ( late
in life, in her 40s or 50s?) hence the name change. But I can't
find any marriage info in California, nor can I find any record of
her death save the SSN info. I have been looking through Ancestry
this morning and a little searching on Family Search and Google. I
was hoping to find descendents but I think that's unlikely. Trying
to trace the relationship between her father and my great-great
grandparents....same last name, travelled Hamburg to Scotland and
Scotland to North America together and settled, at some points as
neighbours, in St. Paul.

Thanks
