Thank you! I also found the 1930 census, and I do think that is my grandmother. My
problem is that I can't seem to locate any family members. I know that sometime in
the 1940's she changed her last name to Cassinelli. Why I don't know. So I'm
still in search of an answer to that riddle. Also, she changed her birth year from 1922
to 1924. She would never speak of her family, and said she was adopted. She said her
mother was a Mrs. Casazza in Reno. She said she worked or lived on a ranch, but her
military records show she worked at Bell Telephone in Reno. I'm so confused! If there
is anyone that can give me any sort of information, anything at all, I would be forever
grateful! Also, does anyone know this address 131 1/2 Stevenson Street Reno, Nevada. She
lived there in 1942. I've looked up this address and can find anything there as of
today. I think it was either an apartment building or motel. I'm unfamiliar with
Reno, Nevada, having lived in the Washington, D!
.C. Metro Area, so any info would be helpful to me. Thank you very much.
