Research Notes

• Needs Relationship Review: Profile was attached to parents Wyche-66 and Scott-17497 without reliable source. While first and last names, and birth date and place may match to an existing child Wyche-225, the death date and place are different. What is the proof these are the correct parents, and Wyche-225 is then a duplicate profile? Spratlin-29 19:17, 10 April 2023 (UTC)
• https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/119166758/rebecca-dupree It appears this findagrave record belongs with this profile. Last name: Wyche Dupree. Birth and death dates do not match but that happens often.
• One of these familysearch profiles (or both if they are a duplicate) may be Rebecca Wyche https://www.familysearch.org/tree/person/vitals/K8DT-DQD or she could be Rebecca Jordan Wyche This would support the Rebecca Jordan research. Jordan may be a middle name. https://www.familysearch.org/tree/person/family/LVVM-6SW
