What does dying with the name Dunham on her social security card have to do with anything.

A divorce (and she was also Ann Soetoro) gives permission for the maiden name to be used and Social Security will change your name back if you send in the divorce decree.

Her name being Dunham at her death means nothing but that she was divorced when she died. You are assuming because her name was her maiden name that she never got married?

I dont care what name she died with- only what name she might have obtained a passport and/or SSN with in 1961

My question was, if she was married in Feb 61, and traveled- did she travel as a married woman, or under her maiden name? To travel as a married woman she would have needed proof of the marriage to apply for a new passport in her married name. Otherwise she traveled as Dunham

“If” an 18 yr old foreign woman gave birth in a Kenyan hospital, presumably on admission they would have referred to her passport for her legal name and other legal identity such as birthdate to issue the child’s birth certificate

One thing Africa and especially colonial Africa excelled at...was (and still is) bureaucracy
thanks

He asked if she had a SSN under the married name. I answered what name she died under in terms of the SSN.

that is all.
