Gussie Kittson was a niece of Herman Lutter. Figuring that Gussie has long passed, I have been attempting to find any living descendants of hers. In the 1920 census for Harrison, Hudson County, New Jersey, she has one son, James, five months old. In the 1930 census, she still has only one child, James, aged ten years. The 1940 census is not available yet. So what happened to James Kittson, born about 1920?
In the online Social Security Death Index (available from various websites), there are two potential matches for James Kittson, born about 1920.

Next I visited Trenton and found the birth certificate for James Kittson- under the name Kitzens.
The birth date, 11 August 1919, confirms that the first James Kittson in the death index is the James Kittson that I am looking for. This person died 21 September 2003. So where is the obituary? Did he marry? Have children? Will I find living descendants? The search continues . . .
