Research Notes

This marriage record is also used as a source for the marriage of [Johnson-84594|Thomas Johnson] and [Whitacre-560|Mary Elizabeth (Whitacre) Johnson]. Further research is needed as to determine to which this applies. It seems like there are two different families since the children are different and they ended up in different locations.

Whitacre-560 and Whitacre-85 do not represent the same person because: They were at one time tied to the same marriage record but further research showed that one married seven years later. These are two different women with two different families even though the wives and husband's names are the same.

Whitacre-560 and Whitacre-85 appear to represent the same person because: They look look more like the same family to me than different families. Whitacre-560's family has no location information that contradicts that of whitacre-85's family.

I didn't change this profile, but in essence added a question in the form of a Research Note. I've identified what I think is another family with the same parents' names but different children and moved to a different location. I haven't checked the Johnson Book, being in the middle the the Connect-A-Thon, but I didn't want to leave this hanging.--Judy
