I have found in Ancestry a hint re
Martha A Bryan (is her maiden name) and spouse Joseph H Hassall possibly with children, under the above heading.
I can't open it as I don't have world wide subscription, and while we are in lock down can't get to my family history club to check.
Wondering if anyone can help by letting me know any information eg date etc and what it all means please.
Thank you.

Hi safc, thank you.
I have just got back to my computer.
Yes, all those items you have found relate to this family.
My query is relating to the US Social Security Application and Claim Index heading.
I don’t know what year sorry, as it isn’t on the hint. That is one thing I would like to find.
Is there anywhere on Genes Reunited to search for USA?
Thanks.

Thank you ArgyllGran.
Interesting.
I will check these through later tonight, I did find two members of the family that looked like they went to USA.
Thanks so much for your help.
Florence married a Texan I think, but I will go back to look again later. I was doing it late last night.

My goodness ErikaH.
Yes I had seen several of those records but didn’t want to accept them until I was certain.
The hint actually came up on Martha’s feed, with the words about children that made me think the parents had gone to USA.
But it all makes sense now.
Last night I found a Passenger list Germany to USA, I will try to find it again. Florence was travelling with a child.
I think her hubby might have been in the army based in Frankfurt, but I must back up my recollection.
Thank you so much for everything.
