I've never seen my mother's birth certificate, but my father once told me it had the name "Geneva" written in and crossed out, and her given names recorded as "Wilma Jean".
The 1940 census gives her name as Wilma Jean Rollings. Apparently this was a much-hated name, as she never mentioned it to me. Everyone called her "Genie", and that is the first name on her marriage record, divorce record, and death certificate.
Mom did not legally marry Bob due to a religious belief. They were clearly partners.
