Talk:Eve Titus

Date of birth

We identify no source for anything and give birthdate 1905-07-16.

ISFDB gives 1922-07-16 [1]. German and Japanese national libraries identify "Eve Titus, 1922–2002" [2] --where I suppose that the five "Beijiru" titles are the Basil of Baker Street books in Japanese translation.

Until late 2009 we gave 1922-07-16 so we may be the source for some or all of ISFDB and the DE, JP libraries; in turn for the four other-language wikipedia pages, which also give 1922-07-16. Here are our three birthyear changes from the page history 2009 to 2014:

• 1922 => 1908 diff ("family records")
• 1908 => 1922 diff ("m" = minor!)

Lead sentence April 2013 to July 2014: "Evelyn Levittan (July 16, 1905 – February 4, 2002)".

• 1922 => 1905 diff ("I am her niece"; restoring birthname Evelyn Levittan without mentioning it in the text [since removed])

We have few contributions by User:Earthclod --"Just finishing editing birth year of author Eve Titus. She never told her age correctly, so it is no wonder some other contributor got it wrong."-- who created that user page 2009-12-20 and has not revised it.

AncientFaces.com provides this (from U.S. Census records?) and solicits more info about one NYC native [3]:

Evelyn P Levittan (born 1908)

Evelyn was born on July 16, 1908 in Manhattan County, New York.

Nancy Lord

One 2007 newsgroup contribution credits Titus with some books written as by Nancy Lord (and names her Marjorie Lord too, but without any supporting detail).

• My Dog and I (Junior Literary Guild selection), illustrated by Galdone, McGraw, 1958.
• Survival: Stories, Coffee House Press (Minneapolis, MN), 1991.
• Fishcamp: Life on an Alaskan Shore, illustrated by Laura Simonds Southworth, Island Press, 1997.
• The Compass Inside Ourselves, published by Fireweed. [no date given]

Apparently the first is correct (My Dog and I at WorldCat) and the three a confusion with Nancy Lord born 1952-01-11 (per LCCN).

• Nancy Lord at Faculty, Creative Writing, UAA.
• Nancy Lord at Library of Congress, with 9 library catalog records (including My Dog and I, evidently a mistake as published when she was six years old)
