Ola Vesta, Chickasaw/German

This is my grandmother Ola Vesta Hale. She was in WWII in the Marines. Her father was a full blood Chickasaw and her mother was part German. She was also a twin and the youngest of 12 children. I was told that her family was older generation because some of her siblings had already died before she was born. I do not know if she has any half siblings from any previous marriages. Thanks! May everyone have a blessed day!
