Below are articles that we have researched but are still missing critical information on. You may find details of our research thus far on the relevant article’s Discussion page. (Or not.)
If you have confirmation of the missing info, please add it or email. If you aren’t sure of your source, add what you think you know to the article’s Discussion page and sign it with four tildes. ~~~~
Plenty of other people, events and organizations are missing information, too. Try searching “????”

- Eleanor “Ellie” Turner (aka Thompson) — no dates and not sure if Thompson is a birth name or married name (name change via Pelz BD list which gives 1/8 birthday but no year). Still alive? Fairly certain she is not the Eleanor Turner who was a friend of Bev Clark and attended Philcon II.
- H. S. Zerrin — a pseudonym? - probably - no hits in Ancestry.com or newspapers.com
Probably Dead[edit]
We cannot confirm death dates for:
