• CAUTION about FamilySearch - SOMEONE NEEDS TO CHECK AND FIND WHICH CHILDREN ACTUALLY BELONG. Some well meaning person added her sister as another wife and some different children. Need better validation from reliable sources.

• Data Doctor note: These are often issues when merging records without doing a proper cleanup after the merge is complete. I often refer to family members that have been researching this family for years. ^[2] While not perfect, the family has conducted more research than I can complete in a lifetime.
