Thanks for the heads up. I tweaked two things on the merge. You had Joseph and Thomas on the same line (VERY common with GEDCOM downloads) and his death certificate says he died in Fredericksburg.

McDonald-5000 and McDonald-4876 appear to represent the same person because: Your Joe Junior and Joseph Thomas McDonald are a match! Thanks for putting in wife and children. I have his wife as Thelka Reeh in my private documentation. I would be glad to add you to the trusted list of his other ancestors if you are also a descendant.
