Research Notes

I have questions about her last name at birth and married name. There were multiple entries over at FamilySearch, I've been up hours merging and sorting (it's hard to not help!), but so many spellings. Still searching for Census records.

She lives with a son who works as a barber, there are separate places where we see that son was indeed a barber. Immigration dates line up, birth place] [[2]]
