Research Notes

There is recently some confusion if Paul was counted twice in the 1940 Census as he looks to show up two different times. Possibly, only one is Paul, but that info has not yet been determined. Ages match, marriage status matches, and even occupation is almost the exact same.

• With his family and wife here: https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3QS7-89MT-FWFZ?i=4&personaUrl=%2Fark%3A%2F61903%2F1%3A1%3AK98H-8MY
• With his sister and mother here (he is shown on next page): https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3QS7-89MT-FWJ6?i=2&cc=2000219&personaUrl=%2Fark%3A%2F61903%2F1%3A1%3AK98H-3WB

More proof that these may be the same Paul Burtons is that he is also listed in the 1930 Census^[14] with both the family from the 1940 Census and his mother from the 1940 Census.
