Research Notes

There is a conflict for the birth dates for Ida (Higgins-7080 born 14 Apr 1898) and sibling, Joseph Joe (Higgins-7079 born 3 Feb 1898). Bishop-4082

According to the 1900 census Joseph Joe was born in Feb 1892, looking at his headstone birth date of Feb 3 1898 could be Feb 3 1893 but then a conflict for another siblings, Alice Lou would occur. The 1900 census has Alice Lou born in Nov 1893, which matches her SSDi record date of Nov 18, 1893. Then the 1900 census has Ida born in Apr 1898, which matches her headstone birth date of Apr 14, 1898.

Is it possibly that the headstone date for Joseph Joe should be Feb 3 1892? Found his WWI registration card and it has a birth date for him of Feb 3 1892. Bishop-4082 01:46, 30 January 2019 (UTC)
