Clarence Alvin Dahlen

  Research Notes:

NOTE: Clarence Dahlen was married twice. His first wife died in 1940 and then in 1945 he married again. Clarence had 3 daughters: Barbara, Susan and Mary. Barbara's mother was Eleanor, Clarence' first wife. Mary's mother was Lydia, Clarence's second wife. However, I have not been able to determin Susan's mother, nor have I found her birthdate. Thus I have not recorded the childrens' information on the database, but I have noted then below

There are a number of Family Trees on Ancestry, but many are 'private'. Public Family Trees on Ancestry do not record a full family record for Clarence, and often provide very incomplete information, along with scant source detail.
