Research Notes

Judith's date of birth, on Find A Grave was estimated, and I haven't been able to find a source for it. None of the sources listed on Find A Grave mentioned a birth date. Using either the calendar month method or the 30-day month method, it should come out to October 25, and not the 27th, but that's just my calculation. I've changed the date to match the date on Find A Grave, and marked it as "uncertain" until another source is found. Scafidi-49 22:38, 28 January 2023 (UTC)

UPDATE: At my suggestion the Find A Grave profile manager for Judith Gott Cates has changed her date of birth to October 25, and so I've corrected it here. I will keep the "uncertain" status until a source with a definite date is found Scafidi-49 11:14, 21 May 2023 (UTC)
