Female relatives can often be in plain sight, hiding under a title instead of their actual name. It’s not unusual for a woman to simply be listed as “Mrs. Jones” or, as in the illustration “Widow” Goldenstein. That may be why they aren’t located in indexes when their first name is used. In the illustration all the children are listed with their first name–just not the mother.

When I cannot find the woman, I have searched for “Mrs”. Thanks for the “Widow” suggestion.
No problem. Sometimes one has to get creative to find these references–and still there are probably ones that will get overlooked unfortunately.
