Research Notes

Wow ... Did I almost make a mistake or what! Hope I got this corrected before anyone jumped on it. I accidentally slipped into the wrong generation line and found instant incompatibilities. Thank goodness I found the error as soon as I went to review timeline. My apologies to the profile manager. I thought I was helping out - I believe I have corrected my earlier entries today. Things appear to be corrected. We've made progress in the end - that's what counts. SORRY! (6/5/2020 K Wendell)

An informative bio with lots of important facts has been attached to George's father's FindaGrave memorial and still needs to be "processed" into this profile. Be sure to take time to view it.

Daughters: Tillie .... I have no info on her. Are you sure of this daughter?

If this was an error, it may be possible to morph her profile into one for Alma Clae or Clay Pickel (1887-?) or for Jessie B Pickel (1889-?) if you haven't added their profiles already.

i am not related - just helping to get unsourced profiles into compliance. Hope my entries have helped and not hindered.
