Research Notes

• The FamilySearch profile ID for Cornelius is LDR5-KQH.
• The eleven siblings of Cornelius that I know of are: Gertrude L., Silvano Romulo, Maria Emelia, Maria Isabel, Francisco Eusebio, Elisabeth Isabella, Virginia Cordova, Thomas Hardy, Aurelio, Constance, and Cyrus Octavius. There is a slightly different list on FamilySearch so names will need to be correlated with other sources as their profiles are created. Wilson-78368 01:21, 9 June 2023 (UTC)
• I know of nine children of Cornelius and Tecla. They are Ursula, Adeline, Alfred Hardy, Isabel Pauline, Cornelius Evaristo, Ludwicum Alfred, Benjamin, Albert Raymond, and Edward Anthony. There is a different list on FamilySearch, including some infants, however, I do not have evidence for them yet. Wilson-78368 01:21, 9 June 2023 (UTC)
• The family still hasn't been found in the 1900 Census. I haven't yet looked for them in any of the various places in New Mexico they could have been. Wilson-78368 01:21, 9 June 2023 (UTC)
