Advisory - Not Annie C. Epstein's brother

• Important: When the gravestone for Anna Celia Epstein was determined that it could not have been for Annie C. (Silicon) Epstein (abt.1870-), we lost the primary evidence that this Abraham Silicon is Annie's brother (or half-brother). Abraham's' profile is still being included as Annie C. Epstein's brother, so that the sources and research notes are not lost. Hopefully this will help to determine Annie's family. Kessler-2015 22:38, 7 July 2021 (UTC)
