Research Notes

I purposely add [[ | ]] brackets to referenced names in bios so that I readily see where relationships have more work to be done. Red names highlight those who may or may not have profiles of their own and still need to have their Wiki IDs linked.

A. Not much is recorded of Susanna and her marriage to Eugene in FamilySearch.org. The only reference is son Harvey Boyce's marriage license ^[10]

• Added in his parents, connecting him to the larger Dunster/Wilder family tree and the 3 wives and children. Reworked the format to more closely match the WikiTree standard. Added Dunster book reference (names only) and the Family Search.org links, and cleaned up the Find A Grave to use the WikiTree shortcut. Still need a hard open link to some of the census (1900?) and other reports referenced here. -- rsl Feb 2020
