By 1953, Verlin and his family are in Richmond, California. I found this directory record before I found the 1940 census, so I had surmised from this directory that Verlene was Verlin and Mary's daughter. This was confirmed in the 1940 census (see above). Verlene is living in Verlin's home. I have not identified Florence and Louise.

By 1957 they are in San Jose, California. There are many Briscoes here that are not likely directly related to them. I don't find any of the other names associated with Verlin's previous listings.
