Research Notes
Alroy Carlisle vs. Raymond Carlisle: Raymond's name appears on his birth certificate as "Alroy Carlisle" but subsequent records only refer to him as "Raymond Carlisle". Was this a nickname that stuck throughout life, or was his name legally changed at some point? Alroys were abundant in this family with the father, Raymond, and another brother (Alroy Legrand) having the name.
