Life in the order the records give it

Birth1975

Born 8 April 1975 in Austin, Texas, to Thomas Alan Caffey and Clare LaVonne Walker

the Texas Birth Index names both parents S126, and the family gives the city S24. Confirmed

Her ancestry is charted at Kristin's ancestors and run to full depth in the deep lines. Nothing on this card is new to the page: every statement on it is drawn from the records already cited above.

Family parents, marriages, children, siblings

Siblings1972

Her brother is Bradley Neal Caffey (b. 1972), the same two parents on the same state index three years earlier S126. They appear together as grandchildren in Dorothy Walker's 2022 obituary S36. No third child is evidenced.

Marriage1994

Married Earl Proeger in a ceremony on Guam, 1994; the marriage was registered in Travis County, Texas (Texas Marriage Index, 25 Jun 1994) S2, their longtime home, because Texas allowed them to marry by affirmation rather than oath

a Quaker scruple Guam made no accommodation for (Earl Proeger’s account, 22 Sep 2026 S24).

Parents1994

Maiden name Caffey, established from the Travis County marriage record of 1994 S2

the same record that names Earl. Confirmed

Parents1946

Her father was Thomas Alan Caffey (1946–2016) of Austin, whose obituary names "his daughter Kristin Proeger and her husband Earl of Austin" S31. Her mother is Clare La Vonne Walker, living S24.

Children2026

Three children with Earl

Maia, and the twins Evelyn and Axel. Their names are all this page publishes about them: no dates, no birth years, no ages, no schools, no places. Earl's rule of 21 September 2026 lets a minor be named and nothing more, and that is exactly what is done here.

Corroborating names on the same page, as the OCR spells them: Anderson (sweatshirt lettering in the adjacent portrait); Unique Classes; M'Risa Marcus; Eve Clark; Amye Benson (12); Hunter Owen (10).

In the record The couple at the centre

1. S2Texas Marriage Index and Washington State Archives, republished verbatim at SortedByName.com — sortedbyname.com/letter_p/proeger/index_2.html and /index_1.html. Also the source for the Social Security NUMIDENT extracts and the immigration arrival index.
2. S24Family testimony — Earl Proeger, September 2026. Stated directly by the family and recorded on their word. Covers: the Silva maiden name and William Harry Proeger as his father's father (both of which record research had already reached independently); and, on Kristin's side, her father Thomas Caffey — raised in Austin, University of Texas, died at Austin — and her mother Lavonne Walker, Walker being her maiden name, born at Fort Worth, Tarrant County. Not a document. No record has been retrieved for any of the Caffey or Walker statements, no dates were supplied for either person, and none has been estimated. Carried throughout as Family testimony, never as Confirmed. Superseded in part on 13 September 2026: the Thomas Caffey statements are now carried on records instead — see S31–S35. The Lavonne Walker statements still rest on this source alone. Extended 17 September 2026: the family further states that she was born Walker, married a Caffey and divorced, then married a Danielson who has since died — which is why her photographs are captioned Danielson. It matches the Caffey obituary's "former wife, LaVonne Danielson" [S31] independently. Her present surname and her widowhood rest on this testimony alone; the second husband's given name, and every date and place attached to that marriage, were not supplied and are not published. Extended 22 September 2026 (eyewitness): Earl was present at the birth of his half-brother John Jacob “Jacob” Proeger, born 25 May 1994 on the island of Guam to William Leonard Proeger and Briana Castro Proeger; Earl states the birth was one month before his own wedding ceremony with Kristin, which was also held on Guam (the marriage itself was registered in Travis County; see the next entry). No birth record has been retrieved. Extended 22 September 2026 (Earl’s own account of his marriage): “Kristin and I married on Guam in a ceremony but registered our marriage in Travis County when we visited Austin, as that had been our home for many years, and we could marry without swearing, a scruple we held as Quakers and which Guam had no accommodation for.” The only date held is the Travis County registration, 25 June 1994, from the Texas Marriage Index [S2]; the date of the Guam ceremony was not supplied and is not published.
3. S31Obituary, Thomas Alan Caffey, Austin American-Statesman, published 8–14 January 2017; Legacy.com id 17338018. Names his parents ("born on March 7th, 1946, to Lucille and Thomas Caffey"), his sisters, and — decisively for this record — "his daughter Kristin Proeger and her husband Earl of Austin." Retrieved in a browser; a plain fetch is blocked. Its guest book also carries a family friend's "T.W. and Lucille," which is corroboration, not kinship: no record makes that family related.
4. S36Obituary of Dorothy LaVonne Peters Walker (12 February 1926 – 13 August 2022), Greenwood Funeral Home, Fort Worth — greenwoodfuneralhomes.com; the same text transcribed on FindAGrave memorial 242876604, Mount Olivet Cemetery, Fort Worth. Family-written. It names her husband "Melvin Walker," her parents "Benjamin 'Pete' and Selma Peters," her three daughters, her Chicago birth and Sioux Falls upbringing, the Norway trips, and — decisively — "Kristin (Earl) Proeger of Austin, TX" among her grandchildren. ⚠️ Only the funeral home's own copy carries the "ROUND ROCK" dateline; the FindAGrave transcription drops it. The funeral home's page is published in full in the Documents grid (Earl's per-item exception, 25 Sep 2026).
5. S126Bradley Neal Caffey — Texas birth index, 23 February 1972, Travis County. Texas, U.S., Birth Index, 1903–1997, Ancestry collection 8781, record 11286050, index image TXBTH_1972_000216a. Read 21 September 2026. Father Thomas Alan Caffey; mother Clare LaVonne Walker. The record that makes him Kristin's full brother rather than a surname match. A state birth index naming both parents, and they are the same two parents the same index gives for Kristin in 1975 (image TXBTH_1975_000216e). Corroborated independently by the 2022 Walker obituary [S36], which lists Brad and Kristin in one sentence as grandchildren of the same woman. ⚠ No evidence of a third child. Across the whole Caffey hint cluster and the full obituary, only these two appear as children of this couple — that is absence of evidence from two sources that each had reason to name everyone, and is graded Probable, not Confirmed.
