• Family Search lists name as Gertrude Winifred Sisk — not Longfield. Error on whose part?? https://ancestors.familysearch.org/en/MG4X-34B/robert-george-bryan-1899-1987
• 1930 Census lists "W" as the middle initial of Gertrude in this household, matching Gertrude Winifred Sisk as the ascendant. https://search.ancestryheritagequest.com/cgi-bin/sse.dll?indiv=1&dbid=6224&h=86411444&tid=&pid=&queryId=5c226658ae06ec3fa84b4cfa043cdc36&usePUB=true&_phsrc=FlV4&_phstart=successSource
• Uhhh... Weird. Gertrude Sisk listed as child among a bunch of Longfield children on a Dakota farmhouse, born 1898. (Two censuses — 1930 and 1940 — list her birthplace as North Dakota). Same person, but different partner? https://search.ancestryheritagequest.com/cgi-bin/sse.dll?indiv=1&dbid=7884&h=12915455&tid=&pid=&queryId=e4b47a91557983ea8305842b86a032eb&usePUB=true&_phsrc=FlV8&_phstart=successSource; Interestingly, in all the searches for "Charles W Sisk" (Gertrude's alleged father on Family Search above), Gertrude doesn't show up in any of the censuses. Perhaps this was an out-of-wedlock product? Both families (Longfields and Sisks) are listed as Servants as occupation in Minnesota.
