Research Notes

Sources with no fact or date

There are additional sources with no facts or date. Often these are sources for the baptism or marriage of children that mention the parents or father. This section can just be removed if you will be adding those children and using these sources there.^[6]

Issues to be checked

Generated by WikiTree AGC. This section should be removed when all issues have been looked at.

• A burial fact had no date. Changed its date to be after the death date.
• A fact of type 'Residence' had no date but shared a ref with a 'Marriage' fact with the date '23 May 1850'. So the fact with no date had its date set to that.
• Changed Current Last Name from LNAB of 'Newton' to the last name 'King' of the last husband 'Matthew J. King'.
