Scroll down to see Questionable Areas Examined
Old documents passed around, like the old game of whisper, will invariably conflict with other old remembrances.
Even obituaries are not always written by close family members and can contain errors.
But we go with what we have and make corrections as new and perhaps more logical evidence is found.
Problematic or conflicting areas are
discussed on the following pages:
