How to read this record
Every claim is tagged
Most family trees flatten everything into the same confident typeface. This one does not.
The three research tags below are the whole point of the exercise: they say what a document
proves, what the weight of evidence suggests, and what nobody has found yet. A fourth marks
what the family stated directly, where no document has been retrieved at all — it is kept
separate on purpose and is never quietly promoted to confirmed. A fifth, added on
13 September 2026, marks biological evidence: a DNA result is not a document, and it is not
testimony either. Two further labels mark where this page withholds information
rather than lacking it.
ConfirmedAttested by a document that was actually retrieved and read — a census sheet, a
government index, a grave marker, a family-written obituary.
ProbableStrongly supported but not nailed down: a user-contributed tree, a masked index field,
or a chain of consistent circumstances. Believable, not proven.
Not foundSearched for and not located. This is a statement about the search, not about the
person — the record may well exist somewhere unsearched.
Family testimonySupplied by the family and recorded on their word — no document has been retrieved for
it. Note the diamond rather than the dot: this is provenance, not proof, and it stands
apart from the three record tags above S24.
DNA evidenceBiological evidence consistent with a claim. It corroborates origins; it does
not by itself establish a person or a link. Note the bar rather than a dot or a diamond:
no DNA result on this page is ever counted as confirmed, because no document
was read for it S46.
Living — withheldThe person is living. By the privacy rule for this page, name and relationship are
shown, and at most a year the family has already published. Full dates of birth, ages,
places of residence and record identifiers are held back.
Research in progressA branch that is actively being worked on. The node exists in the structure so the
shape of the family is honest; the detail is simply not in yet.

Life in the order the records give it
Birth1898
Born
July 1898 (26 July, by his draft card
S632), California, the
twin of Mildred, bracketed with her on the 1900 census
S55Death—
His death has not been found
Military1918
🆕 His 1918 draft card has him at Irvington, a farm labourer working for his mother, Louise Rose, who was also his nearest relative. It gives his birthday as
26 July. It writes the year as 1899 but his age as 20, which only fits 1898, so the 1900 census's July 1898 is kept
S632. added 26 September 2026.

Generation 5 — Earl's great-great-grandparents and their siblings
- S55US Census, 1900 — Washington Township, ED 405, Alameda County; household 24, sheet 1B line 93. FamilySearch
ark:/61903/1:1:M9PW-6X9. Antone Rose, Head, born February 1840, Portugal, arrival 1870, married 21 years, his own parents both Portugal-born; Louise Rose, Wife, age 44, Portugal (her birth-year column reads 1865, contradicting her own age); Mildred Rose, Daughter, born July 1898, California. The same township as the Silvas, one enumeration district over. ⚠️ These records say "Portugal," not "Azores," and this page does not upgrade them to match the Silvas. "Rose" is the standard Anglicisation of Portuguese Rosa / Roza. 🔑 SUPPLEMENT, 22 September 2026 — the same page re-served (rid 36140745) and read at full resolution. The children are named: Rose (Nov 1879, already married), Louise (June 1885), Antone (June 1887), Joseph (Oct 1888), Frank (May 1891), Edward and Mildred (July 1898), bracketed as twins, and Helen (Oct 1899). ⚠ The mother's age column (44) and birth-year column disagree; the age governs, agreeing with S201, so she was born c.1855–56. - S632U.S. World War I draft registration, 1918, serial 2188 — Edward Rose, Irvington, California. Ancestry record 29585958. Image examined, read 25 September 2026. Confirmed Edward Rose, Irvington, Alameda County; age 20; birth written “July 26th, 1899”; white, native born; farm labourer, employed by Louise Rose (mother), Irvington, who is also his nearest relative; registered 12 September 1918. Signed Edward Rose. The card disagrees with itself: someone born in July 1899 was 19, not 20, in September 1918. The 1900 census's July 1898, bracketed with his twin Mildred, is kept.
