Research Notes

The male child, Marvin F. (Tillotson-591) had no documentation except for a listing in the familysearch.com tree [1]. Due to the extensive documentation of this female child, with no mention of her 'twin' brother with a close birth date, and the similarity of their first name, it is apparent that this boy did not exist, but started as a spelling error of the girl into an apparent boys name. It was I that mistakenly entered this boy as a son. Merged. Frantz-831 15:52, 9 February 2018 (EST) 2/9/2018 David Frantz
