The sources below are cited inline throughout; the list is the count, and no total is printed here because a hand-written one drifted twice. Raw retrieved pages and record images are held in the private research directory, not on this site. Not every entry is a document, and each one that is not is labelled so that no reader mistakes it for one: S24 is what the family said, S46 is a DNA result, S57 is a relative's Ancestry tree, S58 is a published family genealogy quoting a will nobody here has read, S59 is an 1878 subscription biographical directory, and S66 is a published family genealogy whose Page County search found nothing and whose second search, on new names, found two generations at Probable. Those carry most of the depth below the second-great-grandparents, which is exactly why the tags matter. S25–S35 were added on 13 September 2026 with the Timberman and Caffey findings, S36–S45 later the same day with the Walker, Peters and Selland findings and the two paternal upgrades, S46 that night with the DNA, S47–S56 on 14 September with the Silva and Rose findings, S57–S63 the same day with the full-depth pedigree and the two portraits, S64–S66 on 15 September with the Azores lodge registers and the Kauffman-Coffman book, and S67 the same evening with Frank Silva Sr's 1946 obituary, the notice that confirmed Faial. S68–S73 followed on 16 September — Julius Proeger's Pennsylvania death certificate and his Kirchberg baptism, Medie Owens's Texas death certificate, the Peters–Selland marriage record, the Coffman family typescript and the memorial livestream — with S74–S77 the four Røldal parish entries and S78 the Pasadena press on Robert W. Coffman's career. S79–S88 were added on 17 September 2026: they are documents that were already published in the Documents section and were being cited on the cards above as though they were tree entries — the 1919 Ohio death certificate and the 1917 draft card, Mary Jane Wright's 1934 Texas certificate, the Page County birth register, the two Coffman gravestones, Dr. Wright's 1878 will and his printed county-history biography, the Martin headstone, the 1930 Jackson County census and the 1946 Roberts marriage record. S89 followed the same day — the 1962 Abilene Reporter-News interview in which James Burton Coffman names his niece at Abilene Christian, the only non-family source on this page for two facts that had been resting on the family obituary alone. S90–S102 were added on 17 September 2026 in the reconciliation pass: the Ohio birth index and CA Death Index that identified Anna Blanche Roberts's parents (S90–S91), the 1900 census of the Henry Roberts household in Wheeling, WV (S92), the PA death certificate and 1860 census that confirmed the Timberman grandparents (S93–S94), the TN marriage record and 1850 censuses that confirmed the Martin/Chenault line (S95–S98), the NJ Birth Index for Louise Timberman (S99), and the three DNA results — 23andMe paternal and maternal haplogroups and the GEDmatch "Are Your Parents Related?" test (S100–S102). The existing numbering has never been disturbed, so every citation printed above still points where it always did.

  4. 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.Cited on Overview · Caffey line · Proeger & Kochendoerfer line · Robert Earl "Earl" Proeger · Kristin M.

Everything drawn from it carries Family testimony and nothing is promoted. Nothing in it was edited; the role held is Guest, no paywall or CAPTCHA was bypassed, and the raw output is held in the private research directory. ⚠ Parent names were matched to person-IDs by link text, which resolved to the wrong person once where two people share a name — the names are reliable, any raw person-ID is not.Cited on Caffey line · Traugott Ladusch · Lines.

The 1914 row is Frank T. Silva Jr: 16 in April 1914 fits 2 December 1897 exactly, he is California-born ("Mission"), and he names Anna L. Silva — the exact form on her death index and headstone — as his mother, in the same book. That pairing is what made Faial a strong inference from these books alone; neither book carries a birth date, so neither settles it.

Searched twice, to opposite effect. On 15 September 2026 the full text was searched for "Page County," "Luray," "David Coffman," "David Kaufman," "Dee," and "Emily": the Luray branch is present (D-series, ~55 Shenandoah and ~58 Rockingham mentions), but no match to Dee Coffman (b. 1857) or to his parents by those names was found, and the Page County wall was broken through the vital registers instead [S82]. On 16 September, with David Carl Coffman's name and dates in hand from his gravestone [S83], a second search on the new names reached entry FI1a, p. 562, which gives his exact dates (13 Dec 1812 – 25 Jan 1883) and names his father Samuel Coffman (b. 1779) and his mother Susanna Coffman (22 Jul 1779 – 25 Apr 1865), with Martin "Hawkbill" Coffman (d. 1809) a generation above, citing his will at Shenandoah Co. Will Bk. H, p. 338. A compiled secondary source, and the two generations it supplies are tagged Probable, not Confirmed. A 1940 published genealogy is a scholar's reading of records, not a record; the will it cites has not been read here. ⚠️ SAMUEL IS NOW CONFIRMED as David C.'s father by two Library of Virginia registers (his 1871 marriage licence and 1883 death register, both naming "Saml. Coffman"). The 1814 death date is unsourced and probably wrong: the 1820 census shows him still heading a household, and a Samuel Kauffman estate appears in Page County probate — Page County did not exist until 1831. The Martin "Hawkbill" Coffman will cited as "Will Bk. H, p. 338, 1809" does not match Shenandoah County's actual records (1805 will, Will Book E/F, seven sons without a Samuel). Martin as Samuel's father is Unsupported as stated. The book also disagrees with the gravestones on two dates: it gives Emily's birth as 17 April where the stone reads 7 April, and her death as 1867 where the stone and the Page County register say 1868. The stones are followed.Cited on Overview · Coffman, Wright & Brooks line · DNA · Timeline.

That was a limitation of a low-resolution screenshot, not of the record — at full resolution the line is legible, and the Schrift im Falz verdeckt flag on the film refers to a gutter this entry sits clear of. The register names the mother, and it is the best of the three readings of her given name — see S122.

The printed column headings are wrong for this content — the clerk reused an Indflyttede (moved-in) form and overwrote the headings by hand as death date, burial date and birthplace; read the manuscript headings or every column shifts meaning. ⚠ The clerk also wrote the husband's patronymic as Ivarsson, which is his wife's. The 1868 baptism (S74) calls him Thoresen and the 1820 baptism (S76) gives his father as Tore Monsen, so Toreson is correct; and were Ivarsson right, he and his wife would be brother and sister.

  18. S78Robert W. Coffman's Pasadena ISD career — four Texas newspaper articles, all read by eye from the page image.

Coffman is assistant superintendent of the Pasadena Schools and is also a minister in the church." · The Baytown Sun, 17 Feb 1956, p. 11: "Robert W. Coffman, business manager for the Pasadena Independent School district…" · The Baytown Sun, 31 Aug 1961, p. 2: "Two top candidates for the job are deputy superintendents, Robert W. Coffman and George A. Thompson." The 1945 article is what makes the identification safe — full name with middle initial, the district, the prior post inside that same district, birthplace Potosi in Taylor County, and Abilene Christian, five axes on one page.

  19. S79James Harris Timberman Jr. — Ohio certificate of death, 24 January 1919. State of Ohio, Bureau of Vital Statistics; Guernsey County, registration district 470, primary registration district 8717, registered no. 26, file no. 3039; Ohio, Deaths, 1908–1953, FamilySearch ARK 1:1:X8KB-Z38. Read from the certificate image on 15 September 2026, not from the index. Gives: Jas. H. Timberman, born 23 October 1886, birthplace Pa.; died 24 January 1919 at 9 p.m., city of Cambridge, Guernsey County, Ohio; occupation inspector, B. & O. R. R.; cause of death influenza, the attending physician certifying four days' attendance; father J. H. Timberman Sr, born N.J.; mother Louise Harbauer, born Pa.; informant Mrs. Jas. H. Timberman, Gallatin, Tenn.; buried Gallatin, Tennessee, 27 January 1919. This is the record that turned the Timberman parents from Probable to Confirmed, and the only source on this page for the cause of his death. Two cautions, both on the face of the document: the stated age of 31 is an arithmetic error — 23 October 1886 to 24 January 1919 is 32 years, and the FamilySearch index copies the mistake forward; and the cause of death is a handwritten word on 1919 microfilm, read here as Influenza on letter count, the four-day course and the date, not transcribed from type. The informant is his widow, so the parents' names are her testimony — corroborated independently by the 1910 Wilkes-Barre census, which is why the tag is Confirmed.Cited on Timberman, Martin & Chenault line · James Harris Timberman Sr. · James Harris Timberman Jr. · Timeline.
  20. S80James Harris Timberman Jr. — World War I draft registration card, 1917. East Orange City, Essex County, New Jersey; NARA M1509, World War I Selective Service System Draft Registration Cards; FamilySearch ARK 1:1:7FP1-BV2M, read from the card image 15 September 2026. Signed in his own hand, "James Harris Timberman Jr." — the full middle name the Ohio certificate reduces to an initial. Age 30; born 23 October 1886, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; home 302 Halsted, East Orange; deputy real-estate agent for the D. L. & W. R. R. at Hoboken. The name is settled by this card and nothing else is needed for it. The age of 30 dates the card to the first national registration of 5 June 1917 rather than the 1918 rounds. ⚠️ Philadelphia rests on this card alone — the death certificate says only "Pa." — so the city stays Probable while the name and the birth date do not.Cited on Timberman, Martin & Chenault line · James Harris Timberman Jr..

  1. S81Mary Jane Wright Coffman — Texas death certificate, 6 December 1934. Texas State Department of Health, Standard Certificate of Death, file no. 56943, Taylor County; Texas, U.S., Death Certificates, 1903–1982. Read from the certificate image 16 September 2026. Mary Jane Coffman, wife of D. E. Coffman; born 23 October 1859, Texas; died 6 December 1934 at 7:20 p.m., two miles south of Potosi, Taylor County, of cerebral haemorrhage; buried Dudley, 8 December 1934; father James W. Wright, born Tennessee; mother's maiden name Lucy Brooks, born Tennessee; informant D. C. Coffman of Abilene. It settles a death year and it names two ancestors. Her gravestone and her FindAGrave memorial give the death a day later and a year later, in December 1935 [S21]; the certificate says 6 December 1934 and the family typescript [S72] independently says 1934 as well. A state certificate written five days after the death outranks a stone transcription, and it is followed on this page. The likeliest source of the wrong year is the state registrar's filing stamp, JAN 10 1935, on the face of the same document.Cited on Silva line · Coffman, Wright & Brooks line · Bowles, Williams & Brock line · Mary Jane "Mollie" Wright · James W.

Retrieved 15 September 2026. The child is entered as David E. Kaufman; the parents as David C. and Emily M. The register indexes this family as KAUFMAN while every census writes COFFMAN — that spelling split is the whole reason the wall stood, because a search on Coffman against Page County returns nothing but Shenandoah drift. ⚠️ The three indexings disagree on the year: 1857 in the Bureau register, 1858 in the christenings collection. The page follows 1857, which the stated age of 80 on his 1938 death record and the family typescript both support. The register gives the parents by given name and middle initial only; "Thornhill" is not in this record and comes from the censuses and her gravestone.Cited on Overview · Coffman, Wright & Brooks line · David Emily "Dee" Coffman · David C.

OUR FATHER / DAVID C. COFFMAN / BORN Dec. 13, 1812 / DIED Jan. 25, 1883 / Aged 70 yrs. 1 mo. 12 ds. and OUR MOTHER / EMILY M. COFFMAN / wife of DAVID C. COFFMAN / BORN April 7, 1820 / DIED July 21, 1868 / Aged 48 yrs. 3 mos. Both stones close to the day on their own arithmetic, so the dates are corroborated by the monuments themselves and not only by a tree. Emily's carries the phrase "wife of David C. Coffman" — a contemporary physical object tying the couple together, independent of any index. Her death in July 1868 is also why Dee, born 1857, carries his mother's given name as his own middle name: she died when he was ten.Cited on Overview · Coffman, Wright & Brooks line · David Emily "Dee" Coffman · David C.

  4. S84Dr. James W. Wright — last will and testament, Dallas County, Texas, 9 July 1878. Dallas County probate records, two manuscript pages, transcribed from the images 16 September 2026. Devises the estate to his children Jessee Wright and Kate Templeton Wright, subject to the homestead and community interest of his wife Louisiana C. Wright, whom he appoints sole executrix and guardian. ⚠️ A name variant, recorded rather than adjudicated. The will calls his wife Louisiana C., the printed county history [S85] calls her Lucy C. Brooks, her daughter's death certificate [S81] calls her Lucy Brooks, and FindAGrave calls her Luciana Catherine. Same middle initial and same role as surviving widow in every one.

  5. S85History of Dallas County, Texas (1892), pp. 687–688 — the biography of James W. Wright, M.D. Two printed pages, read from the images 16 September 2026. Gives his birth near Nashville, Tennessee, 4 February 1825, son of Thomas and Martha A. (Tate) Wright; service in the Mexican War; medical study at Louisville and a degree at Nashville; his marriage 28 October 1848 to Lucy C. Brooks, of Davidson County, Tennessee, daughter of Moses T. and Nancy (Tate) Brooks; the family's emigration to Texas in 1850; and, on p. 688, his children — among them "Mary J., wife of David E. Coffman, of Taylor county." A subscription county history is a paid-for family account, not a vital record, and is weighed that way here. Its value is that it reaches the same couple from the opposite direction to the 1934 death certificate [S81]: the certificate names Mary Jane's parents, the history names Dr. Wright's daughter. Neither was derived from the other. The G6 generation it supplies — Thomas & Martha A.

  6. S86Joseph D. Martin and Nannie G. Martin — double headstone. Member-submitted photograph dated 4/2012, from the Coffman family tree shared by Earl's uncle David. Re-read off the full-resolution image, enlarged, on 17 September 2026. Inscribed JOSEPH D. MARTIN, SEPT. 22, 1832 – SEPT. 28, 1899 and NANNIE G. MARTIN, JAN. 26, 1844 – APR. 4, 1915. ⚠️ This source previously transcribed the stone wrongly, and the error is recorded here rather than quietly overwritten. It gave the husband's middle initial as a C and put his death a decade too early, and built an argument on that: that the stone contradicted the family tree, and that the tree's "Daniel" and "1899" had no record behind them. The opposite is true. The monument plainly reads D. and 1899, so it corroborates the tree on both the middle initial and the death year — which makes it evidence for "Daniel", not against it. Two of the wife's figures were also out by a digit each (Jan. 26 not 28, Apr. 4 not 14). A misread document is worse than no document, because it is quoted with confidence. Their identification as Nancy Louise Martin's parents is still from the tree [S30] and remains Probable — a stone proves two people and their dates, not a parentage.Cited on Overview · Joseph Daniel Martin · Nannie Chenault.

Enumerates Daniel Jonah Walker and Nettie Ellen "Annie" Walker with their children Mary, Olan, Clarence Melvin and Robert J — the household Kristin's grandfather was born into at Lolita in 1920. This is what took the Walker great-grandparents past two bare index names. Before it, the couple existed only in the parent fields of their son's Social Security NUMIDENT record, which spells her "Nettie Clevland" and gives no dates, no places and no children. The census writes Cleveland and supplies the household. Their own parents are still Not found; the tree's "Desa Hodges, b. 1888" for Nettie's mother would make the mother eight years old and is rejected, not corrected.Cited on Overview · Clarence Melvin "Melvin" Walker · Daniel Jonah Walker & Nettie Ellen "Annie" Cleveland · Nettie Ellen Cleveland · William Olan Walker · Timeline.

Both parties aged 27; the groom's parents are named as Leon H Roberts and Bessie H Henderson; the bride is indexed under her first married name, Proeger, with her parents as "Lank" [Frank] Silva and Mildred Ross [Rose]. It does two jobs. It replaces a family tree as the authority for Aileane's third marriage, and it is the only record that names Earl Theodore Roberts's own parents — which is how this page can state that he is no relation to the Anna Blanche Roberts in the generation above. Two unrelated Roberts families sit on this tree. ⚠️ She is indexed in February 1946 as Proeger, not as Parliman, though the Parliman marriage of 31 May 1943 came first [S51] — an oddity of the index, recorded and not explained.Cited on Aileane Marie Silva · Anna Blanche Roberts · Earl Theodore Roberts.

The Swiss chain carries no citation of any kind, and the surname sheet — Kauffmans on the councils of Berne, Zurich, Solothurn and Lucerne, 1303–1582 — has nothing on it connecting any of those men to this family. ⚠️ The sheets arrived through a phone and cap at 720 × 1280 pixels; a chart field is 12–20 pixels tall at that size, which is why several readings are graded Probable.

Two things, and they pull in opposite directions. It confirms the marriage the family chart recorded, and it confirms that the bride was already a Coffman — the record behind the compiler's red "1st Cousins." The bond date and the chart's wedding date are not in conflict: Virginia recorded the bond first and the minister's return after, and a 12 February bond with a 5 March wedding is the ordinary three-week pattern. ⚠️ But it names the groom's father as "Geo.", where the chart says Martin [S103] — so the generation above Samuel is now unsupported and contested, not resolved. Two reasons not to act on it yet: this is an index, not the bond image, and in this FamilySearch-derived collection the "Father" field is not always reliably attached to the groom rather than to the bride's consenting parent.

  8. S108Dee Coffman family photograph, circa 1924 — names supplied by Virginia "Ginger" Coffman. A copy of the group photograph already published here, with names typed onto fourteen of the faces and captioned in the image itself “Dee Coffman Family / Circa 1924.” Compiled by Virginia "Ginger" Coffman (Earl's aunt, daughter of Robert William Coffman) and relayed by Earl on 18 September 2026. The labelled image is on this page. Names given: James Burton Coffman, Robert William Coffman, Sue, Lucy, Lydia Mae, Lee Coffman, James David Coffman, Dee Coffman, Mollie Wright Coffman, Lydia Francis Coffman, Ila Belle Coffman, Horace Glenn Coffman, David Coffman, Jesse Coffman. FAMILY TESTIMONY, and graded as such. A relative naming relatives she knew is good provenance; it is not a record, and no document here names a face. This is an addition, not a correction — the photograph's attribution to Dee and Mollie Coffman's family was never in question, and is unchanged. Its weight is that it answers a question this page had been carrying since 16 September: which figures are Dee and Mollie. Ten of the fourteen names are new; four agree with the identifications Earl's uncle David Coffman gave two days earlier. Mary Jane "Mollie" Wright has no other photograph anywhere in this record, so the detail on her card is cut from this frame and labelled as a detail. ⚠️ Her circa 1924 is the family's attribution and sits inside this page's earlier 1923–1930 estimate; the photograph still carries no date of its own.Cited on James Burton Coffman · David Emily "Dee" Coffman · Mary Jane "Mollie" Wright · Timeline.

His parents: Joh. Leonhard David Proeger and Eva Barbara Schmidt. Her parents: Joh. Friedrich Melchior Lösch and Maria Dorothea Wolf. This is the record that names a seventh generation on the Proeger side and a sixth on the Lösch side. It is an index entry, not an image: everything it supplies is Probable until a parish register page is read at Triensbach or Crailsheim. ⚠ Three readings of one woman's given name. This index says Elisabethe Sabina; the 1844 Kirchberg baptism register, written at the time and read at full resolution, says Elisabeth Catharina [S69]; Julius's 1924 Pennsylvania death certificate says Lossetta [S68]. The surname Lösch is identical on all three, and this record takes the contemporaneous register as primary. ⚠ The birthplace is a lead, not a finding. The FamilySearch shared tree says Schwäbisch Hall; both index originals say Erten- or Entenbrechtshausen, two readings of one hand, and Erkenbrechtshausen is a real hamlet 3½ km from the Triensbach church. The place-standardiser separately mangled the baptism entry into "Kirchberg an der Iller, Biberach", 150 km south. Always read the original place field, never the standardised one. ⚠ Corrected 26 September 2026: his 1804 birth register [S591] names his mother as Anna Maria Busch.

Corroborated by Germany, Deaths and Burials, 1582–1958, ARK 1:1:J7HM-PXK: died 1870, born 25 July 1804 at "Entenbrechtshausen". Both read 20 September 2026.

Do not cite that as the father's birthplace — it is almost certainly the indexer propagating the principal's birthplace onto the relationship row. Johann Leonhard David Proeger and Eva Barbara Schmidt as people — their own baptisms, their marriage, their dates — remain Not found; their FamilySearch profiles are hollow and carry no source but these. ⚠ Corrected 26 September 2026: his 1804 birth register [S591] names his mother as Anna Maria Busch.

Her christening: 21 November 1847, Langenburg, Oberamt Gerabronn, Württemberg. Read via the published tree-data service on 20 September 2026; read-only — nothing was edited, merged or attached. User-contributed tree data, and graded as such: Probable. No Langenburg parish page has been read here. Its value is the parish: Langenburg is 8 km from Kirchberg an der Jagst, where her husband was baptised [S69], both inside the Oberamt Gerabronn. Two families out of one small district marrying in Pittsburgh is chain migration, and it redirects the search for her crossing, still Not found, from the Hamburg passenger lists to the Württemberg registers. ⚠ The tree gives her birth year as 1847, and the 1900 census [S137] and her 1912 death certificate now agree with it — so 1847 is the settled year and the cemetery record's 1848 [S19] is the outlier. The christening date is itself part of the proof: a baptism on 21 November 1847 cannot follow a birth in November 1848, but sits eighteen days after 3 November 1847. ⚠ The same profile carries an unsourced 1855 immigration for Julius alongside 1865; the Hamburg port register settles it at October 1865.Cited on Silva line · Proeger & Kochendoerfer line · Minnie Margaret Kochendoerfer · Timeline.

Lindsay and Marjorie Duke — neither related to either family. Both gave residence as "Rockford, Madison County, Illinois" (no Rockford exists in Madison County; the clerk struck the printed "Utah" and wrote Illinois — the address was internally inconsistent, recorded and not corrected). Register image held at familytree-docs/proeger/proeger-silva-marriage-certificate-1940.jpg. The document behind the weakest "Confirmed" in the corpus. Previously sourced to a FamilySearch tree event (S12) with no government record. This county vital record — with both their signatures — replaces it. ⚠ Heber City is on the US-40 transcontinental corridor; Earl reports the couple was traveling from Ohio to California and stopped to marry, which fits the route. The residence anomaly (Illinois, not Ohio or California) is what they told the clerk and is not smoothed over. Two months later William Harry registered for the draft in North Hollywood.Cited on Aileane Marie Silva.

Read 21 September 2026; the same date is carried forward on the 1980 divorce record [S128]. ⚠ One conflict, resolved against the newspaper. The Newspapers.com Marriage Index (record 102623378) dates this marriage 14 June 1969. That collection is machine-extracted — Ancestry's own header states it was "found using artificial intelligence technology and may contain errors" — and it is one derived index against two state indexes that agree on 7 June. This page takes 7 June 1969. The likeliest explanation is mundane: the newspaper item ran the week after the ceremony and the extractor took the publication date for the event date.Cited on Thomas Alan Caffey · Clare La Vonne Walker.

Corroborated by the U.S. Index to Public Records (collection 62209, record 235937201), which files her as "Lavonne W Danielson" at Austin and Fredericksburg from 1993 onward, and by U.S. Phone and Address Directories (collection 7339, record 296670805), "Lavonne Danielson," spouse "Wayne," Austin, 1996–2002. This is what settles the two-names question, and the answer is a remarriage, not an index variant. Every Danielson record postdates July 1993; every Caffey and Walker record precedes it. There is no third reading of her name to reconcile — there are two marriages. It is a separate matter from, and does not disturb, the middle-name finding: her mother Dorothy La Vonne Peters passed that middle name to her, which is why Texas indexes file her under the first name Clare that the family does not use. Both things are true at once. Wayne Allen Danielson is the University of Texas dean — second dean of the College of Communication, 1969–1979. Identified 23 September 2026 by Earl Proeger [S24] and by the dean's own obituary, which names his wife LaVonne and his stepchildren Brad Caffey and Kristin Proeger [S297].Cited on Clare La Vonne Walker · Wayne Allen Danielson · Timeline.

Printed page numbers differ from the image sequence numbers throughout this collection (91≠095, 193≠197, 106≠110); both are recorded. ⚠ Ancestry's derived birth years for her are junk and are not used. It computes 1974 from the 1990 volume and 1977 from the 1993 one for the same person — both are blanket "about 16" machine estimates, not records. Her date of birth here comes from the state birth index [S126]. ⚠ A 1993 senior class photograph is several hundred living people, not one. The page is published because Earl asked for it by name; everyone else on it is a classmate who did not. That is recorded here as a judgement made, not a detail overlooked.

Read from the register image at full resolution, 4796 × 4013 px, 21 September 2026. Died 12 August 1872 at five in the morning, a Wittwe (widow) of Kirchberg; buried 14 August at ten; age at death given as 69 years, 3 months, 14 days. Father Johann Heinrich Melchior Lösch, Glasermeister of Crailsheim, marked deceased; mother Maria Dorothea geb. Muck, marked deceased; her late husband named in the entry as a Schullehrer in Kirchberg. The register settles a surname, a death date and a trade, and refuses to settle a birth date. The Ancestry index of this same entry reads her surname as something else entirely — a misread of the Kurrent. The register names her father a Lösch of Crailsheim, which is the birthplace the German deaths index independently gives her, and her son's 1924 Pittsburgh death certificate [S68] gives his mother's maiden name as Loesch. Two record images, two continents, one surname. On the death date the two Ancestry indexes disagreed — 13 August in collection 61023, 12 August in collection 9868; the image says 12 August, and collection 9868 is the one that was right. On the birth date the stated age counts back to late April 1803, against the index's 26 May 1803; those digits are at the edge of legibility even at 4796 px and are not forced here. The record that would settle it is her baptism at Crailsheim, which is not in this corpus. ⚠ Read at full resolution on purpose. At the 600 px tier this page was illegible and an earlier pass misattributed the parents' column to her husband; the correction is what the full-resolution image is for.Cited on Proeger & Kochendoerfer line · Georg Melchior Julius Prüger · Elisabethe Sabina Loesch · Johann Heinrich Melchior Lösch · Maria Dorothea Wolf.

Tote 1784–1896, image 639 of 706, burial entry no. 3 of 1870 (page column 634, running no. 205); Landeskirchliches Archiv Stuttgart, through Württemberg, Germany, Lutheran Baptisms, Marriages, and Burials, 1500–1985 (Ancestry collection 61023, record 15195522). Read from the register image at full resolution, 5041 × 4061 px, 21 September 2026. Named Georg Melchior Julius Prüger, Schuhmachermeister in Kirchberg a/J.; born 25 Juli 1804; died 4 February 1870 at seven in the evening, buried 7 February at ten in the morning; age at death 65 years, 6 months, 10 days. Parents, both marked deceased: Johann Leonhard David Prüger, Maler (painter) in Erkenbrechtshausen, and Eva Barbara geb. Schmid. Wife named as Elisabetha Sab[ina] geb. Lösch. This is the entry that settles his trade, and it settles it against the schoolteacher. Three register images now name his occupation: his son's 1844 baptism [S69] and his own burial here both say Schuhmachermeister; only his widow's 1872 entry [S133] says Schullehrer, and that one was written two years after he was dead, in a column describing a late husband. Two contemporaneous readings against one posthumous one. The 1872 reading is kept on this page as a variant and is not deleted. ⚠ The entry also checks itself. The stated age of 65 years, 6 months and 10 days counts forward from the stated birth of 25 July 1804 to exactly 4 February 1870 — the stated death date, to the day. Birth and death corroborate each other inside one record, which no index can do. ⚠ The parentage is no longer index-only. It was carried here from Ancestry's transcription until this reading; the names are now off the image, and the image adds a trade and a maiden name that no index held. The father's residence, Erkenbrechtshausen, is the same village this page already records as Georg's own birthplace [S12] — independently recorded, and the match is what confirmed the reading of a difficult compound. The mother's surname may be written Schmid or Schmidt; the terminal stroke does not decide it and it is not forced here. ⚠ Corrected 26 September 2026: his 1804 birth register [S591] names his mother as Anna Maria Busch. Eva Barbara Schmid(t) was his stepmother, his father's second wife from 1806, and she raised him.Cited on Proeger & Kochendoerfer line · Georg Melchior Julius Prüger · Eva Barbara Schmidt · Timeline.

Her line reads SILVA · ANNA · L · age 70 · 12 17 38 · 71446 — middle initial L, age 70, died 17 December 1938, state file number 71446. ⚠ The file number is the new fact here, and it is a lead rather than a finding. Ancestry's transcription of this record does not surface it; the printed page does. 71446 is the handle for ordering the actual California death certificate — the document that would carry her parents' names and her birthplace, and therefore the only record in view that could settle whether the Escobar connection reaches her directly. The index itself cannot. It is a printed state list — surname, given name, initial, age, county code, date, file number — and it carries no maiden name. Her maiden name therefore remains Not found on this evidence. Nothing here touches her registered baptismal name, Anna Luísa do Coração de Jesus, or the fact that Escobar belongs to her father Thomás Pereira d'Escobar, one generation up. ⚠ Eleven Anna Silvas appear on this page alone, so the line was identified by reading the image, not by trusting the index pointer. Name, age and death date all agree with what this record already held: this source confirms and overturns nothing. ⚠ A note for future runs: 1520 × 1484 is this frame's native size, not a cap.

Read from the image at full resolution — 3848 × 3810 px, 21 September 2026; read-only, nothing accepted, attached or edited. The surname is written Prouger. Lines 60–64: Julius, head, Apr 1844; Minnie, wife, Nov 1847, age 52; Walter H, son, Jan 1881, Architect; Gotleib, son, June 1882; Carrie, daughter, Apr 1888. This is the record that settles Minnie's birth year at 1847. The written month and the age column agree only with 1847 — a November 1848 birth would have been entered as 51, not 52 — and her 1912 Pennsylvania death certificate gives 3 November 1847 independently, twelve years later. Two further facts come from the wife's row alone: both spouses report immigration in 1867, 33 years in the US and 32 years married, which places the marriage in America in 1868, after the crossing; and 10 children born, 7 living.

L., daughter, Jan 1883; Ada M., daughter, Feb 1885. What it settles and what it cannot. Matilda's birth month is confirmed January; the year stays open — the sheet reads Jan 1847 against the tree's 9 January 1848, and the 1900 schedule carries month and year but no day column, so no census can close it. The same wall stands on Solomon's April 1838 against the tree's 8 April 1837 — the next source must carry a day: a Texas death certificate or a gravestone. The surname is written plainly Brock; Ancestry's alternate index reading "S A Breck" is a transcription artefact, not a name variant. Migration window: both parents and all four grandparents are Kentucky, all three resident children are Arkansas, the eldest born December 1874 — which with Iona Belle Brock's December 1865 Kentucky birth brackets the move to between December 1865 and December 1874. ⚠ This is a fact about Solomon's household; it reaches Earl's line only through Iona Belle's Probable FindAGrave parentage [S23].Cited on Bowles, Williams & Brock line · Lorena Lucille Brock · Ada May Brock Estes · John B.

The third independent source for the June 1858 birth. The tree carried 4 January 1858; the 1919 Pennsylvania death certificate [S93] gives June / Fourth / 1858 in longhand, and this census, taken nineteen years earlier while he was alive, gives June 1858 and corroborates itself on the age column — 41 at the 1 June 1900 census date is right for a 4 June birth and would be 42 for a 4 January one. ⚠ The day is not on this page: a 1900 schedule carries month and year and no day, so the fourth is not given here; the 1858 township birth return settles it S374. He is already a Veterinary Surgeon here, nineteen years before the certificate records the same trade — and, as there, the occupation exists only in the image and not in Ancestry's transcription.

Apr 1893, Onie Jan 1894, Martha Sept 1896 and Ida J. May 1898 all born in Texas. A third voice on the 1856-versus-1858 conflict, and it agrees with 1858 twice over. The date columns read Apr 1858, and the age column reads 42 at the 29 June 1900 census date — exact for an April 1858 birth, and 44 for an 1856 one. Two independent sources now say April 1858: the Owsley County birth register and this census, taken thirty-six years before the death certificate and while he was alive. The certificate's 1856 is the outlier. ⚠ The day is not on this sheet — a 1900 schedule carries month and year and no day column, so the ninth still rests on the birth register alone. The same sheet brackets the household's move: the last Arkansas-born child is October 1891 and the first Texas-born child is April 1893, so they left Arkansas for Texas between October 1891 and April 1893. ⚠ Years married reads 17 on his line and 19 on hers; the two do not agree and the sheet cannot settle the marriage year. Ancestry indexes the whole household as "Beals"; the page reads Bowles, partly obscured by an indexer's struck-through pencil mark — a transcription artefact, not a name variant. ⚠ This is not the Callahan County sheet [S138]: different county, different image, different household.Cited on Bowles, Williams & Brock line · William Anderson Bowles · Mary Matilda Bowles Lindley · Solomon Alfred Bowles · Timeline.

Read from the image at full resolution — 3700 × 3708 px, 21 September 2026; read-only, nothing accepted, attached or edited. Lines 73–78: Frank Silva, head, 1863, age 36, married 13 years, Farmer, alien, born the Azores of Azorean parents, immigrated 1888, 12 years in the United States; Annie, wife, Jan 1866, age 33, immigrated 1895, 5 years in the United States, 2 children born, 2 living; Mary, daughter, Aug 1896, California; Frank, son, Dec 1898, California; Joe, partner, Mar 1863, arrived 1885; and Antonio S. Escobar, laborer, Dec 1869 the Azores, arrived 1895. The eight-year arrival gap is confirmed on the page and given a shape. His 1888 and her 1895 are both written in the immigration column, and beside them the sheet records married 13 years — about 1887, a year before he emigrated. The reading the image supports is a marriage in the islands, his passage alone in 1888, hers seven years later, and the first child born in California in August 1896. ⚠ That is a reading, not a settled fact: no document here states a marriage place or a separation, and years-married columns are soft. ⚠ Her birth year is not settled by this sheet, and the age column leans against the record. The image reads Jan 1866, but age 33 at the 15 June 1900 date is right for January 1867 and would be 34 for 1866. The sheet contradicts itself by a year and cannot decide between the record's 1866 and the tree's about-1867; her year stays open. Also new: Antonio S. Escobar is in the household and arrived in the same year she did. Escobar is the surname of her father, Thomás Pereira d'Escobar, one generation up; a brother travelling with her is the obvious reading, but the sheet states no relationship — he is entered as Laborer. Not confirmed. The month in Frank's date-of-birth cell is not legible with confidence; the year 1863 and the age 36 are clear and agree. Ancestry indexes the household as "Silver"; the page reads Silva — a transcription artefact, not a name variant.Cited on Silva line · Frank T. Silva · Frank Silva Sr.

Neither the FindAGrave memorial [S34] nor thirty-odd Portal newspaper notices mention it. ⚠ The form gives an enlistment and a discharge and nothing between them — under six months, no decorations, no overseas service, no discharge type. The 345th Field Artillery belonged to the 90th Division, organised at Camp Travis in Texas, which sits conveniently beside a Travis County man, but that is context and not on this document; it is not asserted here. It also gives 18 October 1890 and 20 November 1973 a second independent custodian — a federal form filed by the widow and processed by the Veterans Administration, beside the cemetery memorial. And the applicant block is Hattie Elizabeth "Liessi" Ladusch calling herself his wife in her own signature, which corroborates the marriage independently of the grave. ⚠ No parents on this form, so the "s/o Franz and Lena Landrock Kretschmar" reading stays Probable on the memorial alone; no plot number, so 1-566-10 still rests on [S34]; no marriage date, so 1923 does too.Cited on Willie Frank "Will" Kretschmar.

Read from the image at full resolution — 3536 × 3264 px, 49/49 DeepZoom tiles, 21 September 2026. The ruled register carries GROOM and BRIDE halves with the printed headings Date of Marriage · Name · Residence · Age · Condition · Place of Birth. Their line reads: March 1856 · James Bowles, residence Owsley Co., Ky., age 20, Single, born Estill County, Kentucky — and Lydia Williams, residence Owsley Co., Ky., age 20, Single, born Hawkins County, Tennessee. The first primary record behind this couple. Until this pull they sat here on FindAGrave parent links alone [S22]. A county clerk now puts the two of them on one line in the same county whose birth register settled their son William Anderson Bowles. Lydia’s birthplace is no longer unsourced: the tree carried Hawkins County, Tennessee with nothing behind it and the bride column now gives it. Her age 20 at a March 1856 marriage puts her birth between about March 1835 and March 1836, which contains the tree's 30 May 1835 without proving it. Both are recorded Single — a first marriage for each — and both were already resident in Owsley County. ⚠ The day is clipped at the gutter: the image carries March 1856, and the 6 March on the card is Ancestry's index of this register, not a date read off the page. ⚠ The groom's age contradicts the birth year this site carries. Age 20 in March 1856 puts this James Bowles's birth about 1835–1836, against the 1831 the site gives James Daniel Bowles — a year that rests on FindAGrave alone. The register gives no middle name; it reads simply James Bowles. Either the 1831 is wrong or this is a different man. Recorded, not resolved — the couple stays Probable. ⚠ Estill County, Kentucky is new and uncorroborated, and a Kentucky register of this period carries no parentage columns, so it says nothing about the generation above.Cited on Bowles, Williams & Brock line.

The licence application, sworn 27 February 1932, gives the groom as William H. Proeger, 21 years of age on the 26 day of June, residence 4823 Summit St in Lucas Co., Ohio, born Pa., occupation Machinist, father Wm. L. Proeger, mother's maiden name Anna B. Roberts, not previously married; and the bride as Dorothy Susan Reid, 18 years of age on the 4 day of March, residence 4823 Summit, born Indiana, occupation none, father Charles Reid, mother's maiden name Bessie Craighead, not previously married, consent signed Mrs. Bessie M. Reid. The certificate beneath it returns: “on the 4 day of March, A.D. 1932, I solemnized the marriage of Mr. Wm. H. Proeger with M. Dorothy Susan Reid”, signed R. O. Stevens. A first marriage this site did not know existed. The card had carried “Married (1) 4 March 1932, Lucas County, Ohio — spouse not identified” as Probable on the strength of an index [S12]; the ledger now names her and settles it. Both parties are recorded not previously married, which makes Aileane Marie Silva his second wife, not his first. His parentage is now on a document he personally swore to — father Wm. L. Proeger, mother Anna B. Roberts — rather than inferred from censuses and index entries [S12][S14]. And it is the first paper behind the family's memory of Ohio: Earl's own account has his grandfather coming back to California from Ohio around the August 1940 Utah wedding, and this ledger puts him at 4823 Summit Street, Toledo, working as a machinist, in February–March 1932. ⚠ The year digit on the groom's age line is smeared and is not legible. The line reads “21 years of age on the 26 day of June 19—”. The day and month are clear and corroborate 26 June; the year on that line is not readable, and the abt 1911 in Ancestry's index is derived from the age column, not read off the page. ⚠ What became of Dorothy Susan Reid is not on this page. Between 4 March 1932 and 13 August 1940 there was a divorce or a death; the ledger says neither, and no such record has been looked for. An open question, not a finding. ⚠ Groom and bride give the same address, 4823 Summit — stated twice, explained neither time. ⚠ The bride was a minor at application: she turned 18 on 4 March 1932, the wedding day itself, and her mother Mrs. Bessie M. Reid signed the consent line on 27 February. ⚠ The officiant's initials are not certain — the certificate signature reads R. O. Stevens and the application's expected-officiant line carries the same surname with initials that could be read either way. ⚠ The frame is film-flagged “Smeared Ink” by the filmer, and Ohio licence ledgers of this period carry age, not birth date, on both sides.Cited on William Harry Proeger · Dorothy Susan Reid · Jane Bell · Timeline.

J. Carter, M.D., who had attended her since 1965; buried 27 November 1971 at Mount Olivet Cemetery, Fort Worth, by Maxine Biggers of Biggers Funeral Home. Her parents are named here for the first time in this research — Melton Cleaveland and Maude Melville Warner. Neither has appeared in any earlier file, and neither is given a person record on the strength of one line on one certificate. The burial is the strongest tie to this family: Mount Olivet Cemetery, Fort Worth, on 27 November 1971 is the same cemetery as her son Clarence Melvin Walker. ⚠ The birth date on this sheet conflicts with the one already on this site. The certificate says 27 November 1897; the couple card carries 29 November 1896 — two days and one year apart — and neither date is settled. Item 8 of a death certificate is informant-supplied, not a birth record; the age column (73 last birthday) agrees with the certificate's own date, which corroborates the sheet and not the fact. Both stay on the page until a Nebraska birth or baptismal record decides. ⚠ The certificate is registered under her married surname and names no husband — the form has no spouse field, so the sheet never says Daniel. The identification rests on the Cleaveland maiden surname in item 13, the middle initial E. for Ellen, the Nebraska birthplace already independently on record [S87], and the shared Mount Olivet burial. Ancestry's hint engine also matched it to her, which is an opinion and not evidence. ⚠ The informant is a signature, not a printed name, reading most plausibly E. G. Walker; it is not D. J. Walker and not C. M. Walker as written, and who E. G. Walker was is unknown. ⚠ Post-traumatic shock is named as the underlying cause while every injury field is blank — items 20a–20f, accident/suicide/homicide, time, manner and place of injury, are entirely empty. The certificate contradicts itself by omission, and what happened three weeks before her death is not on this page. ⚠ The physician's street address (item 22b) reads 6721 and the street name is not legible.Cited on Daniel Jonah Walker & Nettie Ellen "Annie" Cleveland · Nettie Ellen Cleveland · Melton Cleaveland · Maude Melville Warner.

The home is recorded owned, free of mortgage, a house. This sheet settles the household and opens three questions. Father and son are on one document, in one household — Frank Jr is entered as Son, born in California of two Portuguese parents. The two men of the same name are no longer told apart only by the tree's own edges; a census page now does it. His age 12 in April 1910 is consistent with the 2 December 1897 the tree carries, but ⚠ the sheet gives no day and no month and does not independently date his birth. Married 23 years — about 1887 — agrees with the 1900 sheet's thirteen years [S141] and with the 1886 Santa Bárbara, Horta marriage record. ⚠ The arrival year is now four witnesses and four answers, and it is further from settled than before. The 1900 sheet wrote 1888 for him and 1895 for her; this sheet writes 1887 for both; the 1930 sheet, read off the image, writes 1891 for him and 1899 for her [S147]. The disagreement about her is eleven years wide. No date on this site may harden out of these four — only a passenger manifest or a naturalisation paper can close it. ⚠ The naturalisation cell is overwritten and blotted. A superscript that reads as "Na" sits on the rule between lines 92 and 93 and cannot be assigned to either row with confidence, so this page does not say whether he was naturalised by 1910. The 1900 sheet had recorded him alien after twelve years, and the California Voter Register hint that looked like the answer belongs to a different man — that Frank Silva was naturalised in San Francisco in 1874, when ours was eleven and still in the Azores. ⚠ The age column disagrees with the gravestone by about a year. Age 45 at the 19 April 1910 enumeration puts the birth between April 1864 and April 1865, where the tree and the stone carry June 1863. This is recorded as a discrepancy, not a correction: an age column is the enumerator's arithmetic and not a witness to a birth, and the 1862 Santa Bárbara, Faial baptism already held on file outranks it. ⚠ An earlier version of this entry said the 1930 and 1940 returns made it three censuses pointing at 1864. That was our arithmetic, not the record's, and it is withdrawn. The 1930 sheet was enumerated on 7 April 1930 and gives his age as 66, which means a birth between 8 April 1863 and 7 April 1864 — June 1863 falls inside that window, so 1930 supports the gravestone rather than contradicting it [S147]. This 1910 page remains the one age column that genuinely points later. None of it settles the birth year: the 1862 Faial baptism outranks every age column, and 1862 is not 1863 either. ⚠ The hardest new fact on the page is a count, not a name: Annie bore four children and only one was living in April 1910. In 1900 she had two born, two living — Mary, b. August 1896, and Frank. By 1910 only Frank Jr survives. Mary and two further children, unnamed on any sheet held here, died between 1900 and 1910. No names, no dates and no places are on this document, and none are supplied. His occupation has moved from Farmer in 1900 to Foreman in a wine cellar, as a wage earner. As in 1900, Ancestry indexes the household as "Silver"; the page reads Silva — a transcription artefact, not a name variant. 🔑 SUPPLEMENT, 22 September 2026 — re-read under Anna's hint, and three things on the sheet had never been adjudicated. Her own columns read four children born, one living — three children of Frank and Anna Silva died before April 1910 and are named nowhere in this research. Anna could speak English in 1910 and Frank could not: the column asks whether able to speak English, or, if not, give language spoken; her cell reads English, his Portuguese. Ancestry files hers as Native Tongue: English, inverting the column. Frank's occupation reads Foreman, Wine Cellar, wage earner. Both arrivals read 1887 and M1, 23 years puts the marriage at c.1887; the index carries only Anna's year, which is why the conflict with 1930 [S147] never showed in the queue.Cited on Silva line · Frank T.

  7. S1471930 U.S. Federal Census — the Frank Silva household, Washington Township, Mission Precinct, Alameda County, California. Ancestry collection 6224, record 88915983, image 4532332_00361. Supervisor's District 8, Enumeration District 1-349, sheet 2 B, dwelling 43, family 43, enumerated 7 April 1930 by an enumerator signing as "Iny W. Cull" — ⚠ the given name is not confidently legible and is not asserted. Read from the image at full resolution — 3932 × 2844 px, 48/48 DeepZoom tiles, 21 September 2026. Lines 78–80: Frank Silva, head, age 66, 24 at first marriage, born Portugal, immigration 1891, naturalisation Na, occupation beginning "Farm"; Anna, wife, age 61, 19 at first marriage, born Portugal, immigration 1899, naturalisation Na; and Aileen, grand daughter, age 11, born California of California-born parents. The home is owned, valued $1,000, with no radio set. Both adults are recorded able to read, write and speak English, mother tongue Portuguese. 🔑 This sheet answers the naturalisation question the 1910 page could not. Column 23 reads Na — naturalised — for both Frank and Anna, in a clean, unblotted cell. That is not a guess at a smudge: the capital was checked against control glyphs in the same hand on the same rows — the enumerator's capital N in "No" (col. 16) is a flat-topped crossbarred loop and matches the cell exactly, while his capital P in "Portugal" (col. 18) is a tall open ascender with a closed bowl and does not resemble it. The 1910 sheet's blotted, unassignable superscript [S146] is now corroborated from an independent document. 🔴 The consequence is a document we do not yet hold: a naturalisation file exists. He was naturalised in California somewhere between the 1900 return, which recorded him alien after twelve years, and this one. A naturalisation packet carries an arrival date and very often the vessel, and is now the single highest-value unpulled record for this family. 🔑 Age 66 is consistent with June 1863 and does not point at 1864. Ancestry indexes this record abt 1864 by subtracting 66 from 1930, but enumeration was 7 April, so age 66 means a birth between 8 April 1863 and 7 April 1864 — and the June 1863 on the gravestone falls inside that window. ⚠ The earlier framing on this site that "three censuses agree on about 1864" was an artefact of index arithmetic and has been withdrawn [S146]. It does not settle the birth year in the other direction either: the 1862 Santa Bárbara, Faial baptism outranks every age column, and 1862 is not 1863. 🆕 Ages at first marriage — 24 and 19 — put the marriage at about 1887–1888 from each side independently, agreeing with the 12 June 1886 Santa Bárbara, Horta record and with 1910's married 23 years. 🆕 Aileane Marie Silva is in this household at age 11, entered as grand daughter — her grandparents were raising her after Frank Jr died in 1924. This is the first document placing her in that house. ⚠ The sheet gives only an age, which brackets her birth to 8 April 1918 × 7 April 1919; it gives no day and no month. 🔴 And the arrival year got worse for the second sheet running: four witnesses, four answers. 1900 → him 1888, her 1895; 1910 → 1887 for both; this sheet → him 1891, her 1899. The spread on her is now eleven years. ⚠ Both 1930 immigration cells are over-inked — the second digit of each has filled in — and 1891/1899 are read at DeepZoom level 12 against the clean 1877 and 1907 entries elsewhere on the same page as controls; Ancestry's index also reads 1891. No date on this site may harden into a settled arrival year. Another census cannot close this; a manifest or the naturalisation file can. ⚠ Frank Silva Jr is absent, as expected — he died in 1924, which is what makes this sheet Frank Sr by definition rather than by inference. 🔑 SUPPLEMENT, 22 September 2026 — the sheet contradicts itself, and that is why it cannot simply be preferred. Frank 1891, Anna 1899 in the immigration column, eight years apart on consecutive lines — and on the same lines age at first marriage 24 against 66, and 19 against 61, which both put the marriage at c.1888, before either arrival. Either the arrival years are wrong, or the couple married in the Azores and emigrated separately, husband first — a reading this sheet raises and cannot settle. Open question; review queue. A passenger list or the naturalisation petitions (both are marked Na) would close it.Cited on Silva line · Frank T. Silva · Frank Silva Sr · Anna "Annie" L. Silva.

Date of birth: Dec. 2, 1897", on a form he signed beneath the printed affirmation "I affirm that I have verified above answers and that they are true." Everything else this site holds for that date is an index or a gravestone. ⚠ It is a SELF-REPORTED date on a form the subject signed, not a birth register — evidence of a different kind from a baptism or a civil birth entry, and it is not written up as though it were one. ⚠ The arithmetic on the card agrees with itself, which is the reason to trust it as far as it goes: age 20 at 12 September 1918 brackets the birth to 13 September 1897 × 12 September 1898, and 2 December 1897 sits inside that window. 🔑 Box 10, NATIVE BORN, is ticked; boxes 11 (Naturalized) and 12 (Citizen by Father's Naturalization Before Registrant's Majority) are empty, as are both alien boxes. Frank Jr was a citizen by birth — independent of, and consistent with, the Na recorded against his parents in 1930 [S147]. 🆕 The first document in which Frank Jr himself names Mildred. Questions 19/20, nearest relative: "Wife Mildred Silva", at his own address. That dates the marriage to before 12 September 1918, consistent with Aileane's 1918 birth. 🆕 First occupation and employer on any document for him: Laborer, Ritchie Bros Co., Mission San Jose. 🆕 Physical description: medium height, medium build, gray eyes, brown hair, no disqualifying injury. His permanent home address is Mission San Jose — the family's township in 1900, 1910 and 1930, with no gap. ⚠ The card gives no birthplace. The revised Form No. 1 records citizenship status but not the town or state of birth, so Native Born fixes the country and nothing finer; California comes from the 1920 and 1930 censuses, not from here. ⚠ Frank Sr appears nowhere on the document — the father/son link is not evidenced by this card and continues to rest on the census sheets already cited. ⚠ The serial is read as 939 with a soft final digit, and the registrar's signature was not confidently legible and is not transcribed.Cited on Silva line · Frank T.

Read from the image at full resolution — 7162 × 5402 px, 154/154 DeepZoom tiles, 21 September 2026. Silva, Frank, Head, M, W, age 76, Wd — widowed, attended school no, highest grade completed 3, birthplace Azores, citizenship Na, residence on 1 April 1935: Same house; at work in the week of 24–30 March 1940, 48 hours; occupation Owner, industry Grocery Store; 52 weeks worked in 1939, no wages, and other income of $50 or more: yes. Home owned, valued $1,000, not a farm. 🔑 He owned and ran a grocery store. Owner / Grocery Store, 52 weeks in 1939, 48 hours in the census week, no wage line but other income of $50 or more — the exact signature of a self-employed proprietor. In 1930 he was a farmer [S147], so this is a documented change of trade between 1930 and 1940, at the age of 76, and it is the first document to give him a business of his own. His 1946 obituary calls him "a former farmer and grocer" [S67]; this sheet is the record behind the second half of that phrase. 🔑 Widowed. Column 13 reads Wd. Anna L. Silva had died before 1 April 1940 — the tree carries 17 December 1938 — and this is the first census in which he appears without her. 🔑 Residence on 1 April 1935: Same house. It is the one question no other census asks, and it puts him in this Mission San Jose house continuously from at least 1935 to 1940. With the 1900, 1910 and 1930 sheets and his son's 1918 draft card [S148], the family's documented centre of gravity is Washington Township, Alameda County, without a gap. 🔑 Naturalised, a third time. Column 17 reads Na, agreeing with 1930 and with the blotted 1910 entry [S146]. ⚠ He is enumerated ALONE. Household 481 holds one person; line 60 opens a new household. No parents, no spouse and no children appear on the line, so this document evidences no relationship at all — every family link on his card continues to rest on the sources already cited there. He is, however, his own informant: the enumerator's circled informant mark sits beside his name, so the answers on this line are Frank Silva's own. ⚠ The sheet gives an AGE, not a date, and it does not decide 1863 against 1864. Age 76 at census day 1 April 1940 brackets the birth to 2 April 1863 × 1 April 1864. June 1863 falls inside that window — and so does part of 1864. It is consistent with the gravestone and is not an independent witness for either year. Ancestry indexes it abt 1864 by subtracting 76 from 1940, which ignores the census day, exactly as it did on the 1930 sheet. ⚠ The withdrawn framing is not restored. The claim that three censuses agreed on about 1864 was our own arithmetic and was withdrawn [S146]; this sheet does not bring it back. ⚠ Birthplace reads only "Azores" — an archipelago, not a parish. The 1862 Santa Bárbara, Faial baptism already on file is finer than anything this column can give. ⚠ The place on the sheet is Mission San Jose, not Niles. The FamilySearch index of this same enumeration district labels it Niles [S50]; the printed header of the sheet itself gives the township as Washington and the unincorporated place as Mission San Jose. Both are in Washington Township and a few miles apart; where they differ, the sheet is preferred over the index, and the earlier "at Niles" reading on this site is corrected. ⚠ Line 58, immediately above him, is struck through and annotated "Omitted By Error" — a voided line, not a lost household. ⚠ The street-name column is a vertical entry running above his line and was not read confidently for line 59; his house-number cell is blank. ⚠ The enumerator's surname is read as Fonte with less confidence than the given name, and the education cell is read as the third grade from a single digit with no further qualifier. Nothing on the page depends on either.Cited on Silva line · Frank Silva Sr.

Tenure O F — owned, free of mortgage — with the farm-schedule mark in the left margin. 🔑 This is the first and only document that places Frank Jr and Mildred under his parents’ roof, and it is the sheet behind the "Mildresk" index entry carried on her card — now read rather than indexed. 🔑 It is also the first document anywhere on this record to DATE the naturalisation. Every other sheet writes only Na; this one writes 1904 for both of them, and 1895 as the year of immigration. ⚠ A naturalisation year on a census is a pointer, not a certificate — it points at an Alameda County or federal naturalisation file of about 1904, which has not been found. 🔑 Frank Sr was a farmer here and a grocer in 1940 [S149]; the change of trade is now documented at both ends rather than inferred. ⚠ WHAT THIS SHEET GETS WRONG, STATED PLAINLY: the two parents’ ages are overstated by eight to ten years. Frank Sr is entered as 64; June 1863 makes him 56. Anna is entered as 62; 1867 makes her 52. These cells are rejected here, and the reason is on the same five lines: the two young adults are exact. Frank Jr at 22 is right for 2 December 1897 on 1 January 1920, and Mildred at 21 is right for July 1898. The enumerator was not systematically careless — the error is confined to the two people whose ages an informant would have been guessing. The 1910, 1930 and 1940 sheets all agree with June 1863 once their reference dates are applied [S146][S147][S149]. The 64 is recorded on this page and rejected on this page. ⚠ Aileane Marie Silva, born August 1918, is NOT on this sheet. She should be about sixteen months old. The household runs Head, Wife, Son, Daughter-in-law, Boarder and stops. This record does not explain her absence and no explanation is invented for her here. ⚠ The 1920 census records ages only — no months, no days. ⚠ "Portugal" is the whole birthplace on this sheet; Azores and Fayal come from other documents [S67]. ⚠ The enumerator’s signature is read as Anna A. Solon with low confidence, and the boarder’s age is a single glyph read as 7. ⚠ The boarder is entered as Boarder, not as kin; no relationship to this family is claimed for him. 🔑 SUPPLEMENT, 22 September 2026 — re-served under Anna's hint (rid 3289995) and re-read at full resolution. The street is Vallejo Street, written in the street column; the farm-schedule number is 79, a line on the 1920 agricultural schedule for E.D. 213 not yet sought; Frank Sr answers Yes to speaking English in 1920, where in 1910 he did not [S146]; Mildred's father and mother are both born in Portugal on her own line. ⚠ Anna's age reads 62 on the image, not the index's 52; the rejection of this sheet's ages stands. ⚠ The arrival year here is 1895 for both — a fourth answer; no arrival year is published as settled.Cited on Silva line · Frank T.

Their line, verbatim: "Salomon A Brock — Matildia Howard", by whom married left as ditto marks, "march 6 1865", then John C. Howard, Lenard Farmer, J. W. Foster. 🔑 The marriage is on a register for the first time. Until now this site carried only the 1900 census's bare "married 35 years" [S138]. 🔑 And her maiden surname is documentary: the clerk writes Matildia Howard, where before Howard came off a member-submitted photograph's filename. 🔴 STRUCTURAL FINDING — the form is a SCHOOL-CENSUS SHEET REPURPOSED AS A MARRIAGE REGISTER, and the column semantics are genuinely uncertain. The printed headings (CENSUS REPORT OF SCHOOL CHILDREN, Signature of Parents Guardians or Heads of Families, Post Office Address of Parent, Guardian, Etc.) are struck through in ink and overwritten by hand as MARRIAGE REGISTER · PARTIES NAMES · BY WHOME MARRIED · Date · PLACE OF MARRIAGE · NAME O WITTNESS · PRESENT. The two schemes do not line up, so the cell holding John C. Howard reads either as place of marriage, given as a householder's name, or as the printed parent or guardian column. Preferred reading: PLACE OF MARRIAGE — it is the only one consistent across neighbouring rows, which put the bride's own surname in that cell both times (Sarah Hulton above; Littleton Marcum below, for Silas J. Howard — Emily Marcum). ⚠ The rejected reading is the valuable one, which is exactly why it is hedged and not asserted: it would make John C. Howard her FATHER. A portrait of a John C. Howard is already published here off a member tree. This page does not settle it. ⚠ CRITICAL NEGATIVE: this register has no age column, no birthplace column and no parentage column, so it cannot touch the 1847-versus-1848 question. The Owsley County register [S143] has those columns; Kentucky county registers of this period are not uniform. ⚠ The officiant is not recoverable — her by whom married cell is ditto marks and the run is long. 🔑 SUPPLEMENT, 22 September 2026 — the register re-read across BOTH leaves, and the right leaf carries everything. Ancestry indexes only the left leaf. The right leaf's PLACE OF MARRIAGE column reads "John C. Howard" for this couple — and the column names the bride's father's household on every row checked above and below (Sarah Helton above; Littleton Marcum below, for Silas J. Howard — Emily Marcum). This is a SECOND INDEPENDENT CHAIN to John C. Howard as Matilda's father, alongside the 1860 Harlan household [S165] — and the death certificate of the couple's eldest daughter names her mother's maiden name as Matilda Howard [S170]. 🔑 John C. Howard was a JUSTICE OF THE PEACE, officiating at other marriages in this same register. 🔑 New from the right leaf: witness Lenard Farmer, and J. W. Forster in the third column. ⚠ Two chains are still not a statement of parentage. No document read says Matilda was John C. Howard's daughter in words; the sheet PRECEDING image 4230650_00446 carries the head of dwelling 822 and has not been pulled.

A widow's application is filed after the soldier dies, and hers was filed from Texas — where the 1900 census [S138] already had the household, in Callahan County. The 1910 sheet then enumerates her as a widow in her own right [S154]. 🔑 Her middle initial is P on a federal form compiled from her own application. The headstone published here reads "MATHILDA R. BROCK": two custodians disagree, and this card is the better witness. The stone's R is now the outlier, and it is left standing rather than corrected away. 🔑 Military service is entirely new to this family's record — two Kentucky infantry companies plus the Veteran Reserve Corps, i.e. reassignment to garrison duty, which usually followed wounds or illness — and an invalid pension he drew himself from 2 November 1872, at about 34. ⚠ No birth, marriage or death DATES appear anywhere on the card. It gives a ceiling, not a date, and does not touch 1847-versus-1848. ⚠ It is an INDEX, not the file. The widow's application 807,122 / certificate 585,190 at NARA would carry the marriage proof and his actual date of death.

Brock, Salomon, 32, M, W, "Teaching School", personal estate $100, born Kentucky; Matilda, 23, F, W, keeping house, born Kentucky; Sara B., 4, born Kentucky; Mary E., 2, born Kentucky. 🔑 The age column says 23, and that requires January 1847 — not 1848. Enumerated 12 July 1870, a woman born January 1847 is 23; born January 1848 she is 22; born June 1848, as the headstone has it, she is 22. This is the second schedule whose own age column backs January 1847, and it is independent of the 1900 sheet [S138], which reads Jan 1847, age 53. 🔑 The family is in ARKANSAS in 1870, and the Kentucky → Arkansas move is now bracketed at both ends. They married in Harlan County, Kentucky in March 1865 [S151]; both daughters on this sheet were born in Kentucky; and by July 1870 the household is in Madison County, Arkansas. The move happened between about 1868 and mid-1870 — and the 1880 sheet [S166] narrows it further to 1869 × July 1870, since Mary E. was born in Kentucky and Ellen in Arkansas. 🔑 Solomon's occupation is "Teaching School" — new to the record. He is a schoolteacher at 32 with $100 of personal estate and no real estate, two years before the invalid pension he began drawing in November 1872 [S152]. 🔴 This sheet is the reason the Harlan County non-population schedule was rejected. That row indexes a Matilda Howard in Harlan, Kentucky on 28 July 1870 — sixteen days after this enumerator wrote Matilda Brock, aged 23, keeping house in Arkansas with two children, and five years after she became a Brock. The Harlan Matilda Howard is a different woman, and the row is closed on that ground rather than on a guess about the schedule's contents. ⚠ No month and no day. Pre-1900 schedules carry age only; this sheet narrows the year and cannot give a date. ⚠ The enumeration-date digit reads 12 and 13 cannot be wholly excluded; nothing here turns on it, since both fall in July 1870 and give the same arithmetic. 🔑 SUPPLEMENT, 22 September 2026 — the one open reading on this sheet is CLOSED. Line 28 reads Iona B., not Sara B., not Jane B., and not Ancestry's Imma M. — settled on the image, and independently by the 1880 Hilburn Township sheet [S166], where the eldest daughter is Iona B., 14, born Kentucky: four in July 1870 and fourteen in June 1880 is the same child. The four-year-old on line 28 is Earl's great-great-grandmother. 🔑 And the move from Kentucky narrows. With Mary E. born in Kentucky and Ellen in Arkansas on the 1880 sheet, the arrival closes to 1869 × July 1870, from the wider December 1865 × December 1874 bracket.Cited on Bowles, Williams & Brock line · Iona Belle Brock · Mary E.

Brock, Matilda P., Head, F, W, 62, Wd, 10 children born / 7 living, born Kentucky, both parents Kentucky, occupation "own income"; Ellen, daughter, 38, single, born Arkansas, teacher of music on own account; Lorna, daughter, 27, single, born Arkansas. 🔑 The first schedule to record her as a widow — column reads Wd — and as head of her own household, living on her own income. It agrees with the pension index [S152], which dates Solomon's death to on or before 23 May 1904, the day she filed as his widow from Texas. 🔑 "10 children born, 7 living" — the identical pair of figures the 1900 sheet gives [S138]. Ten years apart, two enumerators, the same answer: the identity of the two households is not in doubt, and no child of hers died in between. 🔑 Her middle initial is P here too — a third custodian against the headstone's "MATHILDA R." 🔑 Both daughters were born in Arkansas, which is where the 1870 sheet puts the family [S153]. 🔴 WHERE THIS SHEET DISAGREES, AND WHAT IS PREFERRED. Its age column says 62, and that points to 1848, not 1847: at an April 1910 enumeration a woman born January 1847 is 63, born January 1848 she is 62. This is the one census of the four that indexes 1848, and reading the image confirms the index rather than overturning it. It is still outvoted, and the reason is the kind of evidence, not the count. The 1900 sheet states a month and a year in its own hand — January 1847 — and its own age column, 53, corroborates that cell; the 1870 sheet's age 23 in July 1870 independently requires January 1847 [S153]. This sheet carries no month at all: an age alone, reported ten years later, for a woman of about sixty-two. So January 1847 is settled — by FOUR age columns, not three, since the 1860 Harlan [S165] and 1880 Hilburn [S166] schedules each require it too — and the 1910 age is recorded here as a genuine disagreement rather than smoothed away. ⚠ The DAY remains unattested by any document. ⚠ No document read in this research says 9 January 1848, the date the Ancestry tree carries. The headstone says 9 June 1848; the schedules say January, and two of the three say 1847. The tree's date matches no source read here. ⚠ Every federal census on this woman is now read, and none of them carries a birth month and day except 1900. Only the NARA widow's pension file (application 807,122 / certificate 585,190) or a Kentucky birth record can give a day.Cited on Bowles, Williams & Brock line.

It is the earliest document that places James Daniel Bowles in a household, and the household has a head and a wife born in Virginia — the only Virginia birth anywhere on this line. ⚠ It is published as PROBABLE, and the reason is on the page itself: a census household list states no relationship. The columns give name, age, sex, occupation, estate and birthplace, and nothing else. No document read in this research yet uses the word "son" for James against Wm A. and Lucy. What carries the identification is arithmetic on a second page: the three older boys of this house reappear on three consecutive lines of the 1863 draft list for the neighbouring county S156 at exactly the right ages — Hugh 21 → Hughs 34, William 14 → W. A. 27, James → 32. ⚠ James's own age digit is genuinely ambiguous: at native resolution it reads 11 as readily as 19, two plain strokes. The index says 19; the 1863 page is what fixes it at 19, not the digits. ⚠ Wm A Bowles here, 63 and born in Virginia, is NOT William Anderson Bowles (b. 1858), James's son. Two men, the same initials, two generations apart. ⚠ No occupation is entered for any son, and only the head holds real estate. ⚠ Jackson County was cut out of Owsley, Clay and Estill in 1858, which is why the 1863 residence is a different county and not a move.Cited on Bowles, Williams & Brock line · William A.

A., 27, single, farmer, Kentucky; line 7 Bowls Hughs, 34, single, farmer, Kentucky; line 8 our man. The three ages carry the 1850 Owsley household forward exactly S155, and that agreement — not any one line — is what identifies both sheets. 🔑 It adds an occupation the index omits — Farmer, dittoed down the column — and a dated wartime residence in a decade where this man had none: nothing stood between the 1856 Owsley marriage S143 and the 1870 Owsley census S157. ⚠ Enrolment is liability for the draft, not service. He is listed in Class I (men 20–35, and unmarried men to 45); the former military service column is blank and there is no remark. Nothing here says he served. ⚠ Its age column disagrees with the tree by a week. A man born 9 July 1831 is 31 on 1 July 1863, not 32. This is the second of three schedules leaning the same way; with S155 and S157 it moved the tree to 1830–31 on 22 September 2026. ⚠ The clerk's spelling is Bowls, surname first; that is the register's hand, not a new name.Cited on Bowles, Williams & Brock line.

The "born within the year" column gives Feb, and her own 1920 death certificate, filed in Phoenix by her husband, gives 27 February 1870 S158. 🔑 He owned no land in 1870. The real-estate column is empty — a fact an index cannot show, and a plain one beside his father's $1,200 twenty years earlier S155. ⚠ Its age column is the third to exclude 9 July 1831. Age 39 on 1 June 1870 requires a birth between 2 June 1830 and 1 June 1831. With 1850 (19) and 1863 (32), three independent enumerations agree with each other and disagree with the tree, whose date carries no primary citation. The tree is now corrected to 1830–31 (22 September 2026) — none of the three states a day. ⚠ Emily, William and James D are all marked cannot read, cannot write; only James D attended school within the year. ⚠ No other Bowles household appears on the page. 🔑 SUPPLEMENT, 22 September 2026 — the empty real-estate column is a LOSS, not a constant. The 1860 Travellers Rest sheet [S171] gives James Bowls $500 in real estate; here the column is empty and personal estate has fallen from $200 to $150. He held land in 1860 and held none in 1870, and that is a fact about the decade, not a transcription constant. S157's transcription otherwise holds in every particular. ⚠ The page gives no reason for the loss.Cited on Bowles, Williams & Brock line · William Anderson Bowles · Emily Bowles · Timeline.

Arizona State Board of Health, Bureau of Vital Statistics, County Registered No. 9718, Local Registrar's No. 2439. Read from the image at full resolution, 22 September 2026. Lucinda Carpenter, F, White, married; date of birth Feb 27 1870, age 50, occupation Housewife, birthplace Kentucky; NAME OF FATHER: James Bowles; MAIDEN NAME OF MOTHER: Williams; informant R. N. Carpenter; died 28 September 1920, 3:30 p.m., of shock following operation at the Deaconess Hospital, attended from 12 August; buried Greenwood, 30 September 1920; usual residence California, about two years in Arizona. 🔴 THIS IS NOT JAMES DANIEL BOWLES'S DEATH RECORD, AND ANCESTRY'S INDEX MAKES IT LOOK LIKE ONE. The index surfaces the record under Name: James Bowles. On the image he appears in one box only — Name of Father. It must never be cited as his death record; he died in 1889 in Texas. 🔴 A second index error on the same card: "Spouse: Williams Bowles" is not a person. Williams is the maiden-name-of-mother box, a surname with no given name, read by the indexer as a man. 🔑 What the certificate does settle is a daughter, fully. 27 February 1870, born Kentucky locks to the month against Lucinda, 4/12, born within the year — Feb on line 10 of the 1870 Owsley schedule S157. 🔑 And it corroborates Lydia's maiden surname from another state entirely — Arizona, fifty years and two thousand miles from Owsley County, from a family informant. Williams now rests on three independent documents: the 1856 marriage register S143, the 1858 birth register S160 and this. ⚠ WHAT IS REJECTED HERE, AND WHY. The certificate gives Virginia for both of her parents' birthplaces. Both are rejected. James was born in Estill County, Kentucky on his own marriage register S143 and Kentucky on three schedules; Lydia was born in Tennessee on two. The informant was a son-in-law reporting in 1920 on a father-in-law thirty years dead. The likely source of the slip is recoverable and is worth stating: James's OWN parents, Wm A. and Lucy Bowles, WERE born in Virginia S155 — the informant was one generation out, not simply wrong. A death certificate is primary for the death and hearsay for the parents. 🔑 SUPPLEMENT, 22 September 2026 — re-read under the hint filed to the MOTHER, and both parents' Virginia birthplaces adjudicated. Lydia's is wrong too. Three contemporaneous records give her Tennessee — the 1850 Owsley schedule while she was living at home [S173], the 1856 bride's column [S143], and the 1860 Travellers Rest sheet [S171] — and her son's 1936 Texas certificate gives a third answer, Kentucky. Two informants, two different wrong answers, sixty and eighty years on. Tennessee stands; the pattern is the finding. The Virginia is weak sideways corroboration of the Virginia-born generation in [S155] and worthless for either James's or Lydia's own birthplace.Cited on Bowles, Williams & Brock line · Lucinda Bowles Carpenter · Timeline.

Hausvater: Johann Georg Fux, kath., Gürtlermeister hier, b. 7 Jul 1821, d. 14 Okt 1910, son of Matthäus Fux and Barbara geb. Hornung. Copulation I, 25 Nov 1850: Maria Ana geb. Pfrogg (1822–1857). Copulation II, 28 Mai 1861, zu KIRCHBERG a. d. Jagst: Christiane Juliane Erdlin, geb. PRÜGER, evang., born 25 Okt 1838 zu Kirchberg, died 3 Febr. 1911. Her parents are written out in the register's own rows: "II V." — Georg Melchior Prüger, B[ürger] u. Schuhma[cher] in Kirchberg a. J., and "II M." — Elisabeth Sabina geb. Lösch. 🔑 THE FIRST SIBLING OF THE IMMIGRANT EVER DOCUMENTED. Until this page the Proeger line held Julius Karl Proeger and his parents and nothing beside him — no brother, no sister. Christiane Juliane Prüger, born at Kirchberg on 25 October 1838, is his elder sister, five and a half years before his own 28 April 1844 baptism in the same parish S69. She stayed in Württemberg, married a Schwieberdingen belt-maker, and died there in 1911. 🔑 The identification does not rest on the surname. It rests on four points in the two parent rows that agree with the 1844 Kirchberg baptism: the given names Georg Melchior; the trade Schuhmacher; the town Kirchberg an der Jagst; and the wife's full name with maiden surname, Elisabeth Sabina geb. Lösch. A parish 80 km away, with no access to the Kirchberg book, wrote all four. 🔑 "Sabina" is no longer index-only — and the name is still not settled. Her given name was Elisabeth Catharina on the 1844 Kirchberg baptism S69, Elisabethe Sabina on a FamilySearch index of the 1835 Triensbach marriage, and Lossetta on her son's 1924 death certificate S68. This is a second ORIGINAL register giving Sabina. Two originals now disagree, written by different parishes for different purposes, and neither is overturned here. The existing hedge stands with a second witness cited. ⚠ Ancestry indexes the parents' surname as Sträger. The image reads Prüger at 4×, same hand, same word — but the initial cluster is not beyond dispute even at 4×, and this is flagged rather than quietly corrected. Nothing above depends on it. ⚠ "Residence Place: Schwieberdingen" is REJECTED for both ancestors. Ancestry offers it as new. Schwieberdingen is the parish of the book and of the daughter's married household; Georg Melchior and Elisabeth Sabina are named as absent parents, at Kirchberg. Neither ever lived there on this evidence. ⚠ "Erdlin" is a MARRIED name. She was already widowed or once married before 28 May 1861 at twenty-two. That first marriage is not on this page and has not been looked for. ⚠ The third given name "Julius" is not on this page — a family table abbreviates. Not a conflict, but not corroborated here either. ⚠ The children block for the second marriage is EMPTY. That proves none were entered in this book, not that there were none.Cited on Proeger & Kochendoerfer line · Julius Karl Proeger · Elisabethe Sabina Loesch · Christiane Juliane Prüger.

Bowles; Male; Alive; Place of Birth Owsley Co., Ky; Name of Father: Jas. Bowles; Maiden name of Mother: Lydia Williams; White; Residence of Parents Owsley Co., Ky. 🔑 9 APRIL 1858 STOPS RESTING ON FIND A GRAVE. The date does not move. What changes is who wrote it: a county clerk, at the time, in a statutory register, where before it stood on Find a Grave parent links S22. Weigh primary over derivative: this outranks S22 and is cited ahead of it. 🔑 It is also the FIRST DOCUMENTARY STATEMENT OF THE PARENT–CHILD LINK IN WORDS. Until this row, James Daniel Bowles and Lydia Williams were tied to William Anderson Bowles by Find a Grave and by inference from the 1870 household S157 — a son William, 12, exactly the right age. This register states it outright, at the birth, naming the father and the mother's maiden name on the child's own line. 🔑 A third independent document for the maiden surname Williams, and the second written in Kentucky at the time S143. Note the column heading: it is "Maiden name of Mother", not spouse — Ancestry's index renders it as Spouse: Lydia Williams, the same fact with worse provenance. 🔑 Ancestry's index carries NO DATE AT ALL, which is why this hint looked like a duplicate of what the tree already held. The date exists only on the image. ⚠ Only one Bowles appears anywhere in the father column of this page — it is otherwise Davis, Abner, Warner, Young, Prewit, Wells, McGuire, Kincaid, Beatty, Williams, Boothe, Bryant, Sizemore, Creech and others — so there is no second candidate on the leaf. ⚠ The 1856 date on his Texas death certificate is untouched by this and remains the outlier; it is now outvoted by a birth register, the 1900 Texas census S140 and the 1870 Kentucky census S157.Cited on Bowles, Williams & Brock line · William Anderson Bowles.

The estate figures are written once on line 30 with a brace drawn down the three lines. 🔑 JOSEPH D. MARTIN IS IN THE WIDOW'S HOUSE A SECOND TIME, TEN YEARS ON. The tree held him only from his 1866 marriage forward S95, with the link to Peter and Jane resting on the single 1850 household S98. Here he is again under the same roof, now entered as a Farmer in his own right, six years before he married Nannie Chenault. ⚠ It does NOT upgrade Probable to Confirmed, and the reason is the kind of evidence: a census names a household, not a parentage. Ancestry's own index says inferred child, and inferred is the right word. Two household enumerations make coincidence hard to argue; neither states the word "son". Peter's 1849 Sumner County probate S107 was the document that would close it — and it has been read, 22 September 2026, as [S172]: Joseph D Martin is named in his father's own hand, inside the children's division. 🔑 Her birthplace reads TENNESSEE for the second time, on her own line, ten years after the 1850 sheet said the same S98. Nothing read in this research gives Virginia for HER. Her husband Peter Hines Martin was born in Virginia S105, and a birthplace copied sideways from a husband to a wife is the commonest error in an online tree. 🔑 She was worth better than $21,000, in her own name. $6,000 of real estate in 1850; $9,240 real and $11,840 personal here, in a household of three, with Farmer in her own occupation column both times. 🔴 THE TWO AGE COLUMNS CANNOT BOTH BE RIGHT. 1850 gives 56 (born 1793–94); this sheet gives 62 (born 1797–98). Ten years apart the ages advance six. The disagreement is printed rather than smoothed: the 1818 marriage S162 favours the earlier year (a bride of about 24 rather than 20), the 1820 tally leans the later S163, and 1840 is neutral S164. No record read gives a month or a day. The year is UNSETTLED and a row stands in the review queue. ⚠ M. L. Martin's initials are not clean — a large looped capital reading M or Jn — and the age reads 21 with 24 possible. At 24 she is the Louisa, 14, of 1850; at 21 she matches no child on that sheet. Transcribed as read, not resolved. ⚠ Abram Martin, 65, born NORTH CAROLINA, $10,000 real and $11,950 personal, stands two dwellings from Jane in 1860 and two doors from her in 1850, with Mary Martin 53, Malvina 26 and John Franklin 20. A brother of Peter is the obvious hypothesis and it is recorded as a hypothesis only: Peter was born 1793 and Abram about 1795, Peter's grave names his own father John — the name Abram gave a son — but Peter was born in Virginia and Abram in North Carolina, and that is a real obstacle, not a detail.

Read from the image at full resolution — 3716 × 4500 px, 72/72 DeepZoom tiles, 22 September 2026. Enumerated 7 August 1820. The sheet carries two fragments: the close of the town of Gallatin list, ending with the clerk's note "Whole amount in Gallatin 429", and below it the start of the Sumner County list. Peter H. Martin stands on the second line of the Gallatin fragment, above Mathew Neale and John Perkins. His tally: free white males 10–15: 1, 16–25: 2 (of whom 16–18: 1), 26–44: 1 — Peter himself, 26 that August; free white females under 10: 1, 16–25: 1; Persons engaged in Manufactures: 4; slaves, females under 14: 1. Totals: 6 free white, 1 enslaved, 7. 🔑 HE WAS NOT A FARMER, AND THIS IS THE EARLIEST OCCUPATIONAL FACT THE RECORD HOLDS FOR HIM. Four hands in manufactures, in the town of Gallatin, in 1820, is a workshop. Nothing in this research had ever said what Peter Hines Martin did for a living. The line page already knew he was enumerated at Gallatin in 1820; this is that entry, read rather than cited. 🔑 A daughter under 10, in August 1820 — an earlier child who has never been named. It is consistent with the 2 July 1818 marriage S162. Every known child of this couple is a decade later — David c.1831, Joseph 1832, Martha c.1834, Louisa c.1836. A tally is not a name: this is a lead, not a person. 🔴 ON JANE'S AGE THIS SHEET LEANS AGAINST THE TREE, AND IT IS ONE TICK ON A BOUNDARY. There is one female 16–25 and none 26–44. A woman born about 1794 was 26 on 7 August 1820 and belongs in the upper bracket; born 1797–98 she was 22 and belongs where the mark is. So 1820 leans the same way the 1860 schedule does S161, against the 1850 schedule and the tree S98. It settles nothing and is not acted on — a bracket boundary on a form notorious for them, reported by the head of household. But the "prefer 1850, prefer c.1794" reading now has two records leaning the other way, not one. ⚠ The two males 16–25 and one 10–15 are too old to be this couple's children — apprentices or journeymen in the manufactory, or younger siblings. Unnamed, and not claimed as kin. ⚠ One enslaved female under 14, recorded because the page records it. By 1840 the household held ten S164. ⚠ Gallatin neighbours on the fragment include William Trousdale, later Governor of Tennessee, and John Perkins, who reappears on the 1840 sheet.Cited on Timberman, Martin & Chenault line · Jane Bell (Martin).

With the unnamed daughter of the 1820 tally S163, this couple had a large family and most of it is unnamed. 🔑 The scale of the household is now documented. In 1820 it held one enslaved person; by 1840 it held ten, with eight people working the land. This is the trajectory that ends in Jane's $6,000 in 1850 and better than $21,000 in 1860 S161. It is recorded plainly because the page records it. ⚠ On Jane's age this sheet is NEUTRAL and cannot be used either way. A female 40–49 covers births from 1790 to 1800 and therefore contains both candidate years. ⚠ A one-bracket slip, recorded not reconciled: Martha, 6 in 1840 on the 1850 arithmetic, has no 5–9 female slot; the enumerator entered two girls under 5 where the 1850 ages want one under 5 and one 5–9. ⚠ Ancestry indexes the name "P K Martin". The image reads P. H. ⚠ The identification is on the name, the county, the year and the 40–49 brackets — Peter turned 46 in November 1840 and Jane, on c.1794, was 46. An 1840 schedule names only the head of the family; every other person on the row is a tally mark. ⚠ Woody Martin heads a family on the same page of the same division, and Jno. McMurry is a neighbour — the surname borne by the Mary McMurry, 7, in Jane's 1850 household S98. Both captured, neither explained.Cited on Timberman, Martin & Chenault line · Jane Bell (Martin).

Mary 15, Matilda 13, Jacob 11, a girl of 4, Henry 3, Araminta 1, all born Ky; Mary and Matilda both entered dom. laborer and all three eldest ticked attended school within the year. 🔑 Age 13 excludes the tree's 9 January 1848. The census reference day is 1 June 1860, so 13 puts her birth between 2 June 1846 and 1 June 1847; born 9 January 1848 she is 12. This is the third independent age column for January 1847, after the 1870 Madison County sheet at 23 [S153] and the 1900 Callahan County sheet, which writes Jan 1847 with a corroborating age of 53 [S138]. 🔑 She is at work and at school at thirteen — neither fact is in Ancestry's index. 🔑 A second Howard household five doors on. Dwelling 827: Wilkerson Howard, 62, farmer, $4,000 real and $2,100 personal against page totals of $5,600 and $4,520, with Mary, 57, born Virginia, Samuel L. 32, Wilkerson A. 24, Elizabeth 20, Calvin 18, Green 16 and Gerusha 14. Born c.1798, he stands a generation above John C. Howard or is an elder brother — the best open lead to John C. Howard's own parents, and no relationship is claimed here. ⚠ CRITICAL NEGATIVE: no surname appears on any of the six lines. Dwelling 822 begins on the preceding sheet, where the index finds John C. Howard, 53, and Mary, 35; this image holds only the last six of the family under a ditto of a surname written elsewhere. The parent link on this page remains a household inference, not a statement. The preceding sheet has not been pulled. ⚠ No day and no month — a pre-1900 schedule carries age only, and the ninth of January comes from the tree alone. ⚠ Ancestry indexes Henry as 2; the image reads 3.

Reference day 1 June 1880; 33 puts her birth between 2 June 1846 and 1 June 1847. With 1860 (13) [S165], 1870 (23) [S153] and 1900 (Jan 1847, age 53) [S138], four independent schedules close the year on 1847 and the day remains unattested by any document. 🔑 She heads her own household and the tick is in the MARRIED column, not Widowed — while Solomon heads a separate household at Eureka Springs, Carroll County, sixty miles north, fourteen days earlier [S168]. These two sheets must be read as a pair. ⚠ This is NOT early widowhood: the pension index dates his death to on or before 23 May 1904 [S152]. 🔑 The Kentucky-to-Arkansas move narrows to 1869 × July 1870. Mary E., 11, was born in Kentucky; Ellen, 9, in Arkansas, and the 12 July 1870 sheet already has the family in Madison County with both then-living daughters Kentucky-born [S153]. The wider December 1865 × December 1874 bracket closes to a little over a year. 🔑 It settles S153's one open reading. The eldest daughter here is Iona B., 14, born Kentucky; four in July 1870 and fourteen in June 1880 is the same child, so the 1870 line-28 given name is Iona B. and Sara B., Jane B. and Ancestry's Imma M. can be retired. 🔑 A sixth child, James B., 3, born Arkansas — Ancestry's index truncates its household list at "John B.

PROEGER-TREE.md records the Brock side of Generation 6 as unknown: Solomon Alfred Brock has no parents on the tree. This sheet puts him at 22 in the household of James and Elizabeth Brock with seven others of the surname, and the 1850 Harlan County sheet [S169] shows the same couple with the same children ten years earlier and Solomon at 12. ⚠ The hedge is the whole point and it is stated plainly: a census names a household, not a parentage. No record read in this research says son of, so it was published as a CANDIDATE — not probable, not confirmed. Updated 24 September 2026: approved as PROBABLE and entered in the family tree, labelled probable there too. 🔑 James Brock was a United Brethren minister — U.B. Clergym'n in the occupation column, against page totals of $3,200 and $2,000, with a second U.B. clergyman, B. Cochins, 78, born Georgia, at line 2 of the same page. The first religious vocation anywhere in the Brock line. 🔑 Solomon is a farm labourer at 22 with $50 to his name — ten years before he is Teaching School in Arkansas [S153]. 🔑 Laurel County, not Harlan. The family is in Harlan in 1850 [S169], in Laurel in July 1860, and back in Harlan for the marriage of 6 March 1865 [S151]; the birthplace column on both schedules reads only Kentucky. ⚠ Age 22 leans against the tree's 8 April 1837 without overturning it. Reference day 1 June 1860; 22 requires a birth between 2 June 1837 and 1 June 1838, and born 8 April 1837 he is 23. Neither schedule carries a month or a day, so the day is untouched and only the year is in question — review queue. ⚠ Ancestry indexes him Salman; the image reads Soleman.Cited on Bowles, Williams & Brock line · Iona Belle Brock · James Brock · Elizabeth “Betsy” Brock · Timeline.

Publish the pair together; neither alone. 🔑 The first census to carry his middle initial — Brock, Solomon A. 🔴 It cuts against S167 and S169 on the birth year. The 1850 (12), 1860 (22) and 1870 (32) schedules give the identical window June 1837 × June 1838 and exclude 8 April 1837; this sheet, at 43, is the only one that admits it. The year is unsettled — a review-queue row, not a correction. ⚠ Page context, and it proves nothing. Eureka Springs was a one-year-old mineral-spring resort, the sheet is full of hotel boarders with Rheumatism and Sore eyes, and he had drawn an invalid pension since 1872 [S152] — but the page does not say he was there for the water, and no reason for the split household is on either sheet.Cited on Bowles, Williams & Brock line · Timeline.

Next door, dwelling 382: Brock, Zecheriah, 22, farmer, $100, with Margarett 20, James 2 and Abram 7/12. 🔑 This is the pair to S167, and it turns the CANDIDATE parentage into a two-census chain. Every member of dwelling 381 reappears in Laurel County ten years later at the right age — Caleb 16→26, Sabra 14→Sabrey A. 24, Solomon 12→22, Mary 9→19, Mahala 6→17, Caroline V. 3→Carline C. 13, James 45→56, Elizabeth 46→57 — nobody drops out, and the only addition in 1860 is Hetia C., 10, born after this sheet was taken. Eight people twice, a decade apart, in two counties. ⚠ That is what makes it a chain rather than a one-page guess, and it is still an inference. No record here says son of; published as a candidate, PROBABLE since 24 September 2026. 🔑 A married Brock next door. Zecheriah, 22, born c.1828, with a wife of 20 and two small sons — exactly where an elder son of James who had already married out would sit. A candidate brother, carded and not claimed. 🔑 James Brock's calling changed: a farmer with $600 here and a U.B. clergyman with $700 in 1860 [S167]. Both are on the record and neither should be flattened into the other. 🔑 The given name is written out in full — Solomon, clearer than 1860's Soleman. ⚠ Age 12 leans against 8 April 1837 without overturning it: reference day 1 June 1850, so 12 requires a birth between 2 June 1837 and 1 June 1838, and at 8 April 1837 he is 13. The day is untouched; the year goes to the review queue. ⚠ The birthplace column names a state, not a county. ⚠ The enumeration-day digit reads 21; 31 cannot be wholly excluded, and the arithmetic is the same either way.Cited on Bowles, Williams & Brock line · James Brock · Elizabeth “Betsy” Brock · Timeline.

Kentucky); informant Iona Reah, Hermosa Beach, California; date of death July 4, 1947; burial Potosi, July 6, 1947; undertaker Garrison Funeral Home, Abilene; cause coronary thrombosis. 🔴 The hint is filed under Solomon Alfred Brock because he is named on it. The certificate is his DAUGHTER's, and it belongs on Iona Belle Brock's card. 🔑 Four facts move off Find a Grave onto a state certificate filed seven days after the death — the birth date, the birthplace, the death date and the burial were all cited to a memorial [S23]. S170 is cited ahead of S23 for all four. The same pattern as S160 over S22 for her husband. 🔑 Her parentage is stated in words for the first time. Field 10 names her father and field 12 her mother's maiden name, independently corroborating the 1865 Harlan County register's Matildia Howard [S151]. 🔑 London is the seat of Laurel County, the county the 1860 schedule puts her father's family in [S167]: Solomon grew up in Laurel, married in Harlan in March 1865, and his first child was born at London nine months later. The tree had the place from a memorial; it now has a reason. ⚠ An informant on a death certificate knew the deceased, not the deceased's parents. Iona Reah, named for the deceased and almost certainly a daughter, was reporting her own grandparents. The parentage is strengthened, not made primary; what would make it primary is an Owsley or Harlan County record naming Iona as a child of Solomon at the time. ⚠ The duration of the fatal illness is smudged — 1 day is the reading, 5 is not impossible. ⚠ It says nothing about Solomon himself beyond his name and Kentucky birth, and does not touch the 8 April 1837 question.Cited on Bowles, Williams & Brock line · Iona Belle Brock · Timeline.

James Bowls, 25, real estate $500, occupation column blank; Lydia, 27, born Tenn, cannot read or write; Emily, 4; William, 2. 🔑 This is the sheet the batch-AB review queue asked for by name, and the answer redirects the row rather than closing it. Our man is plain James, never Daniel; no Daniel G. Bowls is anywhere on the page; and because he holds $500 in real estate an agricultural-schedule entry is likely. The farm to pursue on the 1860 agricultural schedule is "James M. Bowls" — the queue row is redirected, not closed. 🔑 William Anderson Bowles at 2 — his earliest census appearance, exactly as the Owsley County birth register's 9 April 1858 predicts [S160], and an independent corroboration of it. 🔑 Lydia born Tenn, matching Hawkins County on the 1856 bride's column [S143]. 🔑 James Bowles held land in 1860 and had none in 1870. Read against the 1870 sheet [S157], where the real-estate column is empty and personal estate falls $200 to $150, the empty 1870 column is a LOSS, not a constant. 🔑 Emily, 4, the eldest, is new. ⚠ Lydia could not read or write (col. 13). ⚠ James's occupation column is blank where every other head on the page reads Farmer — an enumerator's omission, not a statement that he had no trade. ⚠ It unsettles the couple's relative ages. Both 20 in 1856 [S143]; here Lydia 27 to James 25, which no other record supports; James 39 to Lydia 35 in 1870 [S157].

"I Peter H. Martin of the County of Sumner and State of Tennessee, being in my usual health and of sound and disposing mind, do make and ordain this my last will and Testament." To his wife Jane Martin, for life: the home plantation, the timbered tract bought of William Walton, the horses Charley and Rhoda and choice of three more, eight cattle, the farm gear, a year's provisions, the household furniture, twenty stock hogs, and "Choice of my Servants to the Number of three." The residue "to be sold at public sale for the benefit of my children." "My Town property to be Sold at a Credit for the benefit of my Children. Robert B. Martin has had an advance of three hundred & seventy dollars for which he will account to the other children in the division of my estate … The Shoe Store may be sold to the Crutchers & R. B. Martin and the latter allowed to retain the use of the Capital I put in." "To David B. Martin I give … a dark bay filly four years old. To Joseph D Martin I give unto a light bay filly now two years old." "To Mr. Wm Bell I leave a house and a support with his Sister as long as he Shall choose to accept it." "Witness that I have written with my own hand this 30th day of June 1849 … P. H. Martin (Seal)." Witnesses Thomas Crutcher, J. B. Wilson, W. H. Crutcher; proved in open court, Sumner County Court, August Term 1849, on the oaths of Thomas Crutcher and Wm H Crutcher; recorded by Wm S. Munday, Clerk. 🔑 This is the document the line page named as the one that would close the Joseph question [S107] — and it had never been read. 🔑 Joseph D Martin is named by his father, inside the passage disposing of the estate for the benefit of my children, in the same breath as David B. Martin and immediately after Robert B. Martin is told to account to the other children in the division of my estate. Three named Martins stand inside the class "my children" in the testator's own instrument. ⚠ The caveat travels with it: the will never writes the word son beside any of the three names. The filiation is carried by the structure of the bequest, not by a kinship term. It is far stronger than the two census households the link rested on [S98] [S161], and it is still not the word. 🔑 William Bell was Jane's BROTHER — with his Sister, in Peter's hand. S98's open brother or uncle is answered, and it explains why he was living in her house in 1850: her husband provided for it. 🔑 Peter Hines Martin kept a SHOE STORE, with capital still in it in 1849 and partners in the Crutchers, and held town property apart from the plantation. Read with Persons engaged in Manufactures: 4 at Gallatin in 1820 [S163], it is one trade across thirty years — and David, 19, "Clerk" in 1850 [S98] was clerking in his father's store. 🔑 Holographic, and four days before his death — written 30 June 1849, and his grave gives 4 July 1849 [S105]. 🔑 Nine people in an instrument Ancestry indexes under one name: Jane Martin, Robert B., David B. and Joseph D Martin, Wm Bell, William Walton, and three witnesses. ⚠ Ancestry's Probate Date 30 Jun 1849 is the date the will was written and sealed; probate is the August Term. ⚠ The will bequeaths Servants by choice of three; it names none of them.Cited on Overview · Silva line · Timberman, Martin & Chenault line · Nancy Louise Martin · Jane Bell (Martin) · Joseph Daniel Martin · Robert B.

The Williams side stops at Lydia on this record; this sheet puts her, at fifteen, in the household of Moses and Nancy Williams in the county she marries in six years later [S143], and there is no second Lydia Williams on the page. ⚠ The hedge is stated plainly: an 1850 schedule states no relationship whatever. Ancestry's own word is inferred. This is the same evidentiary shape as James and Elizabeth Brock [S167] [S169] and it is weaker — that is a two-census chain, this is one sheet. It is published as a CANDIDATE, not probable, not confirmed, and nothing has been written to the tree. 🔑 Age 15 contains the tree's 30 May 1835 by two days. Reference day 1 June 1850; 15 requires a birth between 2 June 1834 and 1 June 1835. The tightest corroboration the date has; the day itself is still unattested by any document. 🔑 The family left Tennessee between c.1842 and c.1845 — Nancy, 8, born Tennessee; Abraham, 5, born Kentucky. Lydia was a child of about seven to ten when they moved. 🔑 Lydia's birthplace is Tennessee, in her own household, at fifteen — the first of three contemporaneous records to say so, with the 1856 bride's column [S143] and the 1860 Travellers Rest sheet [S171]. ⚠ Both parents illiterate (col. 13 ticked). ⚠ Line 21's given name is unread.

With four hands in manufactures at Gallatin in 1820 [S163] and a shoe store still carrying his capital in 1849 [S172], apprentices and journeymen boarding in the house is the natural reading — stated as a hypothesis; the schedule says nothing. It is the first thing on this line that explains the household's size. ⚠ Jane's birth year: NEUTRAL. One female 30–40 covers births from 1790 to 1800 and contains both candidate years (c.1794 and c.1797–98), exactly as the 1840 bracket does [S164]. This sheet must not be cited for her birth year either way. 🔴 The enslaved-persons columns are NOT on the served image.

Survivors: "his wife LaVonne", sons Matt, Ben and Paul, daughter Grace Chimene, and "Stepchildren … Brad (Erin) Caffey and Kristin (Earl) Proeger both of Austin." Corroborated by the Moody College of Communication's notice Remembering Wayne Danielson (3 November 2017), which gives the 1969–1979 deanship and the 31 October death, and by the UNC Hussman School's Wayne Danielson (1929–2017), which quotes advice from "him and his wife LaVonne." This, with Earl's confirmation of 23 September 2026 [S24], is what identifies the husband in the 1993 marriage record [S129] as the dean.

  1. S441U.S., School Yearbooks — Pasadena High School yearbook, Pasadena, Texas, 1960, p. 138: class portraits. Ancestry record 156538904. Image examined, read 24 September 2026. Confirmed An alphabetical portrait page, Clemons to Cox; “Coffman, Nancy” is second row, left. There is no class heading on the page. S254 puts the junior class officers on p. 130 of the same book, so these are most likely the junior portraits, 1959–60.

  2. S442Pennsylvania, U.S., Veterans Card Files, 1775–1948 — Proeger, L. William, Pvt., Co. I, 10th Infantry, Pennsylvania National Guard. Ancestry record 117476. Image examined, read 24 September 2026. Confirmed “PROEGER L WILLIAM PVT CO I 10TH INF P.N.G.”: enlisted 1 July 1895, residence Greensburg, age 19, 5 ft 8 in, glass worker; no promotions; discharged 10 February 1898, “Removal from city”; federal service: none. The card has no birthplace or parents. It is taken as William Leonard (b. 1876) because of the rare surname, the initial, his exact age, the town and the family trade. The only other L. Proeger son was 14 in 1895. His discharge came before the 10th Pennsylvania entered federal service in 1898, so he is not credited with the Spanish–American War.Cited on William Leonard Proeger · Timeline.
  3. S443Württemberg, Germany, Lutheran Parish Registers — Wallhausen, marriages 1813, no. 1: Georg Andreas Renk and Margaretha Barbara Seibold, 29 January 1813. Ancestry record 14293437. Image examined, read 25 September 2026. Confirmed Georg Andreas Renk, born 27 April 1776, son of Georg Michael Renk, mason, and Maria Barbara, “widower of the late Maria Margaretha geb. Zins”, marries on 29 January 1813 Margaretha Barbara Seibold, born 1784 at Michelbach an der Lücke. The original register, not an index row. It is his second marriage, and it shows his first wife, Maria Margaretha Zins, died between Eva Margaretha's birth in January 1809 and January 1813. The bride's relatives and the pastor named in the entry are not kin and are not entered.Cited on Eva Margaretha Renk · Georg Andreas Renk · Maria Margaretha Zins · Georg Michael Renk · Maria Barbara (Renk) · Eva Barbara (Renk) · Timeline.

Image examined, read 25 September 2026. Confirmed Georg Leonhard Kochendörfer, master cooper (Büttnermeister), born at Gerabronn 1 March 1811, son of Johann Georg Martin Heinrich Kochendörfer and Eva Barbara, marries on 29 November 1837 Eva Margaretha, born at Wallhausen 25 January 1809, daughter of Georg Andreas Renk, innkeeper and master baker at Wallhausen, and the late … Margaretha geb. Zins. The register image, read in place of the index rows cited before. Ancestry's index gives her birth as 15 January and her mother as “Eva Margareta Renk”; the image reads 25 January and Zins. It appears to call the mother Eva Margaretha, where the 1813 register (S443) says Maria Margaretha; the 1813 entry, made by her own husband's parish three years after her death, is followed here. The groom's mother's surname is only partly legible.Cited on Silva line · Proeger & Kochendoerfer line · Minnie Margaret Kochendoerfer · Georg Leonhard Kochendörfer · Johann Georg Martin Heinrich Kochendörfer · Eva Barbara Hertweck · Eva Margaretha Renk · Georg Andreas Renk · Maria Margaretha Zins · Timeline.

Confirmed Bond of Colby Chenault to marry Araminta Harper, Sumner County, Tennessee, 8 May 1854; surety T. L. B. Brown(?). A bond, not a return, so it proves the intent to marry on that date. The 1910 census (S450) says the couple had been married 55 years, which fits. The surety's name is hard to read and he is not taken to be kin.Cited on Colby Burris Chenault · Timeline.

  11. S451Colonial Families of the United States of America, p. 428 — Quisenberry: Colby B. Quisenberry. Ancestry record 7977. Image examined, read 25 September 2026. Probable Colby, sixth of the thirteen children of James Quisenberry's first marriage, born 7 July 1788, Fayette County, Virginia (now Clark County, Kentucky); died 30 December 1870; married Lucy 16 December 1810. The book lists eleven half-siblings from his father's second marriage. A compiled family history, not a record, so it is marked probable. Kentucky was still part of Virginia in 1788, which is why other sources say Virginia and the censuses say Kentucky. Quisenberry Memorials (S333) gives the death as 31 December 1870; the two books disagree by a day.Cited on Colby Burris Quisenberry · Documents · Timeline.

Probable Elizabeth Hoskins, born 26 April 1831; father James Brock, born Harlan County; mother's maiden name Betsy Howard, born Harlan County. Corrected 26 September 2026 (same image as Ancestry record 600410452, read again): she died 13 May 1911, cerebral apoplexy. The informant, H. D. Peters of Island City, was also the undertaker, and very probably her son-in-law Harden D. Peters, in whose home she lived in 1910 (S748), not a stranger as first written. It is still one statement, made eighty years after her birth, so Betsy's maiden name is treated as probable until a second source agrees.Cited on Overview · James Brock · Elizabeth “Betsy” Brock · Elizabeth Brock Hoskins · Timeline.

Probable Generation 13: Aaron Quisenberry, born in Caroline County, Virginia, probably about 1715, died in Orange County in 1795, married Joyce Dudley “as is supposed”. Generation 14: Rev.

The author calls the whole descent “constructive”; generations 1–12, back to a Questenberg of about 1380, are his speculation and are not used here.

Madison County is where an Abraham Thomas consented to Lucy Thomas's marriage in 1821. The girl aged 10–15 or one of the girls under 10 could be Lucy, born about 1805, but the census does not say so.

Probable Godfrey Murfin, head, 47, wheelwright, born Leek, Staffordshire; Hannah, wife, 41, born Leek; Mary E., 20, dressmaker; Maria, 8; and Godfrey, son, 4, scholar, born Wem. Why Probable: nothing American names Godfrey's parents except his 1957 death certificate (father Godfrey, mother Hanna, S944), and his citizenship petition gives Wem and 1876 (S365). A boy of 4 at Wem with parents Godfrey and Hannah fits both, but no record yet ties this household to Pittsburgh directly.

Probable Godfrey Murfin, head, 57, wheelwright, born Leek; Hannah, wife, 51, born Leek; Godfrey, son, 14, draper's apprentice, born Wem. Why Probable: the same household as 1881 (S947). The drapery trade fits the linen salesman of 1920 and 1930 (S179, S946), but the tie to Pittsburgh still runs only through the parents' names and Wem.

All were born in South Dakota to Norwegian-born parents. The index reads her occupation as "Brevet", which is a misreading of Servant. It also loses Oscar, George and Myrtle across the page break.

Carpenter, 24, farmer, born Kentucky; mother Lucinda Bowles, 22, housewife, born Kentucky; no earlier children. Affiant Nannie E. Evans, of Wallowa, Oregon, who gives her relationship as aunt, sworn before a notary at Emmett, Gem County, Idaho. The certificate was made 54 years after the birth, and the parents' ages are recollections. Lucinda's own death certificate and the 1870 census (S158) put her birth in February 1870, not about 1866, and the 1900 census gives Robert's as November 1866; the site keeps both. The index reads the middle name as "Lasy"; the image has Lacy. Lucinda's sister Nancy Ann Bowles married George R. Evans, so the affiant is probably she, but the certificate does not say so.

Sue was born eleven months after David C. Coffman and Emily Thornhill married (S334), and she is the Susan M. France named first among the five children in his will. Rappahannock County was formed from Culpeper in 1833, so a birth in 1820 in that district is Culpeper at the time; the informant was not a named relative.

This is the bride's home parish's copy of the marriage in S444. It agrees on the names and dates. It calls him Küfer where Gerabronn has Büttnermeister (both mean cooper), spells the bride's mother Zink for Zins, and leaves her father's trade unclear.

Probable The continuation of the Jacob Young family in S838: Lewis Harbour, 27, male, cabinet maker, born France; Eve, 24, born France; Lewis, 5, Harriet, 3, and Sarah, 4 months, all born Pennsylvania. Read from the image; S838 had this page only from the FamilySearch index. Harbour is the enumerator's English spelling of Harbauer. Why Probable: the 1850 census states no relationships, so Eve is the wife and the children are theirs by position only, and nothing on the page names Louise (born 1863). What fits: Eva Harbauer was born in June 1825, so exactly 24; the 1870 census also has her born in France; a cabinet maker Ludwig Harbauer is her husband in 1863; and Henriette, born 28 May 1848, is close to Harriet, 3.

That “Minnie” is Armenia Howard is inferred, not stated: the ages, birthplaces and the 1870 marriage fit, and the Orsborn spelling matches Edna's 1903 marriage (S791), but no record read gives her both names.

Confirmed In the household of Maggie J. Morrison, 34, single: her father Orange G., born February 1832, 68, a gardener, and her mother Elizabeth J., born October 1834, her mother born in Scotland, married 45 years. The Ancestry index places the page at Groton. The sheet's “1 child, 1 living” for Elizabeth is an enumerator's slip: she had at least four daughters (S360). Image 4120609_00107.Cited on Orange G.

Markham, 48, born in Canada, was a lumber manufacturer. Orange was alive on 16 April 1910. This census gives Elizabeth's mother's birthplace as Vermont; the 1880 and 1900 censuses say Scotland, which the site keeps. Image 4455039_00124.Cited on Orange G. Morrison · Elizabeth J.

  19. S979Texas Confederate widow's pension application (Form B), Kent County, sworn 31 March 1920 — Mrs. Prissila Waldon, widow's file 36536. Ancestry record 1410673. Image examined in the Stage 2 reading, 28 September 2026. Confirmed Mrs. Prissila Waldon, 63, born in Polk County, Arkansas, 43 years in Texas, 9 in the county, post office Girard, Texas, swore that her husband, William Mathewis Waldon, died on 2 February 1920 in Fisher County, Texas, and that he had drawn Texas Confederate pension no. 9421. She also swore that they married on 18 July 1894 in Scott County, Arkansas. The widow is a first-hand informant for the death, and the date matches Find a Grave. The town, Roby, is still Find a Grave only. The 1894 marriage date is her statement and is not settled: P. P. was already his wife in 1880 (S916), and the 1900 census says married 26 years (S972). Prissila is probably P. P. and Palistine (S917), but no record read gives both names. His own pension file, no. 9421, has not been read.Cited on Wm. Mathis Waldon · Documents · Timeline.

Stephen, 9, born Ohio, fits Stephen Wood Orsborne, born 16 February 1871 in Ohio (S973), and Lawrenceburg is his sister Edna's birthplace (S791).

Probable John Osborn, 22, laborer, born Ohio; Minnie, 22, born Indiana; and Charles, five months old, born in January 1870 in Indiana. The 1870 census states no relationships. The names, ages, birthplaces and county fit the Orsborn household of 1880 (S980) and 1900 (S974). Charles is not in the 1880 household, so he probably died young; with him the 1900 count of eight children born fits. That is inferred, not recorded.Cited on John W.

Confirmed A household continued from the previous page: Martha E., 12, and Lucinda, 10, born Kentucky, at school, then Sarah F., 7, and Lydia J., 5, both born Arkansas; all four with parents born Kentucky. The head of the household, James Boles, is on the previous page, which has not been read. Lucinda's age and Kentucky birth fit her birth on 27 February 1870 (S158).

Carpenter, private first class, army no. 2311994; to be notified in emergency: Mrs Lucinda Carpenter, mother, Phoenix, Arizona. Phoenix is where Lucinda Bowles Carpenter died on 28 September 1920 (S158), so this is probably her son.

  5. S9851900 U.S. census — Scott Township, Franklin County, Iowa, ED 140, sheet 6B, 11 June 1900, lines 76–80. Ancestry record 14339818. Image examined in the Stage 2 reading, 28 September 2026. Probable Johan Peters, 65, born October 1834 in Germany, and Sophia, his wife, 56, born July 1843 in Germany, both came to the United States in 1861 and had been married 38 years; she was the mother of 14 children, 7 living. They owned their house. With them were John, son, 22, Saraha, daughter, 23, and Wesley, grandson, 2, all born Iowa. The name pair, the German births and Franklin County fit John Peters and Sophia Herman, whose son Benjamin married at Alexander in that county in 1903 (S791). Benjamin, born 1881, is not in this household, and the census does not name him, so the match is probable, not proven. Frank Peters, 33, born New York of a German father, lived two households away; he is not stated to be their son.Cited on John Peters · Sophia Herman · Documents.

In the same dwelling: David A. Seaton, 25, born Missouri, and America A., 21, born Kentucky, with John A., 4, and M. E., 2. M., 18, fits Manuel, 8, and America A., 21, fits America, 12, in Jackson Parton's 1850 Whitley County household (S844); the spelling Pardon is also on China's grandson's 1939 certificate (S780). The parents' ages rose only six years between the two censuses, and “A. J.” is not expanded on any record read. The Texas births of W. J. and Silvester place the move from Kentucky about 1851–54.

Orange's age, town and birthplace fit Orange G. Morrison, born February 1832 (S975). The 1850 census states no relationships, so Bradley and Avis as his parents is probable, not proven. In 1860 Bradley Morrison, 57, lived next door to Orange (S982), where his wife is written “Annis”. The index spells the surname Marrison.Cited on Orange G. Morrison · Documents.

Harris, 10, at school; Benjamin Harris, 16; all born New Jersey. No real estate entered. The 1850 census states no relationships. The first digit of James’s age is overwritten; 53 is the likeliest reading and fits his 63 in 1860 (S653) and 73 in 1870 (S622). Rachel’s 39 puts her birth about 1811, which is hard to square with Rebecca Anna’s birth about 1823: either Rebecca was born later or Rachel was a second wife.

His son Cornelius Burroughs is sole executor. Signed with his seal; witnesses William Mayhew[?], Garret Dubois and Solomon Dubois. The proof is on the next page, not read; the index’s “probate 6 Jan 1826” is the date the will was signed. Mary (Timberman) is not named, and no wife is mentioned. The identification rests on Salem County and the generation: Upper Pittsgrove, where Mary was born in 1788, was split from Pilesgrove.Cited on Benjamin Burroughs · Timeline.

  10. S1170World War I draft registration card, St. Landry Parish local board, Opelousas, Louisiana (17-3-39 C), registered 12 September 1918. Ancestry record 27878387. Image examined in the Stage 2 reading, 25 September 2026.

M. Callahan. The index reads the wife as “Jennie”; the card says Jimmie, as the 1940 and 1950 censuses do. The card names no parent: the link to Solomon Alfred Brock rests on the name, the birth month (December 1874, as in 1900, S138) and the Opelousas ministry already on his card.Cited on John B.

Sources that were tried and failed

Recorded so nobody repeats them: Ancestry over plain HTTP (403; works in a browser, data masked) · Ancestry's 1950 census (mandatory account) · FamilySearch's record layer (free account required; the tree layer is open) · Echovita (loads, but the obituary is auto-generated filler).

⚠️ Three entries on this list were wrong, and were corrected on 14 September 2026 by re-testing every one of them rather than by reasoning about them. What the servers actually return today: MyHeritage returns HTTP 200, not 403 — it was never blocking us · Legacy.com returns HTTP 410 Gone, not 403, which is a different failure with a different fix · Chronicling America's JSON API 308-redirects to its replacement at www.loc.gov — it is not a retired 404, and a client that follows redirects reaches it. The 403s that are real: Ancestry, SortedByName and Dignity Memorial. Added 16 September 2026 — Fold3. It is reachable and it is not CAPTCHA-walled, despite a first report to the contrary caused by a guard that trips on the word "recaptcha" in the sign-in widget's own script. It authenticates through Ancestry single sign-on at /login (/signin is a 404). ⚠️ Its search silently ignores the ?keywords= URL parameter and returns the whole 577-million-record corpus, byte-identical for any query — a failure that looks like success. Only the search box works. Recorded here precisely because it fails quietly. A "sources that failed" list is only useful if it is true, so this one is now measured rather than remembered.

Two false leads worth remembering: there are no Proegers buried in Texas on FindAGrave at all, and the apparent "Proeger" in the 1950 Texas census is a Kroeger — an unrelated family with no nine-year-old boy in it.

Added 13 September 2026. SortedByName returned HTTP 403 on both Coffman pages having answered for Proeger earlier the same day — rate-limiting, not a missing page. Dignity Memorial 403s a plain fetch and Legacy.com answers 410 to one (corrected 14 September — this line said both 403'd); both were read in a real browser instead. FindAGrave 429s after about 120 memorials, so alphabetical sweeps are useless: search by first name plus death year and it answers instantly. The FamilySearch NUMIDENT collection and the New Jersey birth certificate both need a login or an archive order and were not attempted. No paywall or CAPTCHA was defeated anywhere in this research.

The Portal to Texas History has come off this list. It sat here all day as "CAPTCHA, not attempted". That is still literally what happened — the check-box was never defeated, it was cleared by a human on the evening of 13 September, which is the honest way past one. The archive was then searched and harvested; see the last card in What is still unknown for what remains on it.

One search trap worth writing down, because it cost a whole earlier pass: the 1950 census API filed Austin's enumeration districts under county="Austin, Travis", so querying county=Travis returned nothing and the Caffey household looked absent from Texas. Sweep the state with no county filter.

Living adults appear in full, on the same terms as everyone else here: what the records say, each claim cited. Minors appear by name only — no date of birth, no birth year, no age, no school, no place, no address, no other identifying detail. A minor may be named and may appear in a family photograph; nothing further about them is published. Where it is not established whether someone is an adult or a minor, the minor rule applies.
