Research Notes

I've found that just because the 1950 census lists the birthplace as one location and the travel records tend to agree, it could be that his last residence was there. Many of these missionaries were in a location serving prior to the training they received at Gilead. Robinson-27225 00:18, 20 August 2023 (UTC)
