Research Notes

This is NOT a duplicate of Margaret Elizabeth Donaldson. Her birth and death data [Donaldson-3083]came from FamilySearch source attached 16 June 2018 (https://www.familysearch.org/tree/person/details/99TY-T5B ) and was NOT of the Rabun, Georgia, family, located at (https://www.familysearch.org/tree/person/details/LX17-4FD). The records prove two different women living in different states as listed by census records 1850-1870 as sources for the two different families. This NEW profile was NOT daughter of William Donaldson/Sarah Wallace of York, SC.
