I'm reading Guarino.

I believe that's her married surname.

Whoops!!! I knew it was too easy. Yes I can see very clearly on the third link that Gaurino was her married name. Sorry. Hopefully someone else who is wide awake will chime in.

Yes, I know it would require detailed research. I don't have access to the best resources.

In the 1950 Queens NY Census, Bertha Guarino is listed as the sister-in-law of the Head of Household, James Jewell.
James' wife is Geraldine...

Here is a listing for the marriage in NYC (Queens) of James Jewell and Geraldine Walsh.
1872310 Jewell James V Feb 14 1926 255 Queens J400 Walsh Geraldine

So...POSSIBLY... Bertha's maiden name is Walsh.

I could not find a NYC marriage for Bertha Walsh and Ralph Guarino.

Siblings Geraldine (10) and Bertha (8) in the 1910 US Census. (in Kings County)

Thanks. That's a good lead. I'll search for a SS application for Bertha, or an obituary for her or family members which might mention her with her married name.

Here is a newspaper (Brooklyn Standard Union) from March 1924 listing Ralph Guarino and Bertha Walsh getting a marriage license.

Great!

Here's the grave record for her sister Geraldine Walsh. I was going to ask some to search for her obituary, but the marriage reference is definitive.
