That she'd won her riht to pursue the case and might eventually stake a claim to an inheritance that suddenly disappears in the stock market crash! What a plot twist.
I have a question that as a genealogist, you might be able to answer. I thought I remembered that Aimee went abroad some years back ( I might be mistaken). My question is: How did the US issue passports back then? What documents did they require? Today you need a birth certificate to get a passport.
As far as I’ve been able to determine, Aimee traveled to Canada when she was a student and again to get the affidavits for the 1928 case, and, as an older adult she went to Alaska before it was a State, but otherwise she did not leave the US. Mary Martha traveled to Europe dozens of times, on the other hand.
As for how US passports were issued, if you check the bonus content chapter titled Dames, names and Documents, I go into that process. Thanks for the question!
