Marriage Notes (Mary Budzinski)

The only source I can find on this marriage is from U.S., Social Security Applications and Claims Index, 1936-2007. This database picks up where the SSDI leaves off, with details such as birth date and parents' names extracted from information filed with the Social Security Administration through the application or claims process. As the 1930 census lists Joseph's brother-in-law as Walter Paluszenski, it is possible Mary remarried, or this is not the same family. I can't find Mary in the SS death index under either name.
