Research Notes

"Sr" was removed as suffix in the merge, since the following note said it was being used temporarily:

Although I am aware that our ancestors rarely used the suffixes of Jr. and Sr.; for the sake of convenience and to avoid confusion, I am using the suffixes Jr. and Sr. temporarily.
