Old-tree records, triage section 2 (chunk 1): transcriptions and verdicts

Browser pass, 2026-09-27, tab 1013502130. Input: the study's sync notes, section 2 ("Extra record citations on matched people"), "Records per person" for six direct-line people: H0025, H0105, H0054, H0064, H0017, H0063, with the section's Flags obeyed. Each record was opened on Ancestry and its index read (images only where the index was thin and it mattered). Saves went only to the tree Hegnauer/Putt (206849982), through /merge/tree/206849982/person/<id>?sourceGid=<record>:<collection>; every merge page showed "in your tree: Hegnauer/Putt" before Save was clicked. Nothing was saved, edited or opened in "Hegnauer (Old)" (165462681); the "This record is saved to N people in N trees" lines on record pages were not followed.

How "already there" was decided: each person's Hegnauer/Putt Facts page was loaded and its page source searched for the record id (source citations carry it). A record counted as already there only when its own id was present. For those records the transcription is in the person's master record (people/<ID>.md, citation named) and was not redone. Every save was checked afterwards the same way (id present on the Facts page).

H0054 Arthur Garfield Curtis (Ancestry 102705343023)

13 records: 4 saved, 9 already there, 0 skipped, 0 not a match. (Four of the nine were verified and saved in the 3a/3b pass: see Old-tree records, triage sections 3a and 3b: transcriptions and verdicts.)

Saved

1. 1900 United States Federal Census (7602), 900244:7602.

• Ontario [township], Knox Co., Illinois, sheet 3, dwelling 42, family 42: "Aurther G Curtis" [indexed also Custis], boarder, white, male, born Oct 1881, age 18, single, born Indiana, father and mother born Indiana; farm laborer, 0 months unemployed; reads, writes, speaks English. Household of Otto F. Rylander (35, head), Anna C. (24, wife), George E. (6), Clara A. (4), Otis R. (7/12); boarders Aurther G. Curtis (18) and Grover Bishop (15). (The triage's "Otis County, Indiana" is not in this record.)
• Identity check: a 1900 census search found "Nathen Curtis", wife Louisa, head, born Jan 1852, Indiana, in the same Ontario township, Knox Co., Ill. (record not opened), which fits his parents Nathan (b. Jan 1852 per the tree) and Louise (Louisa) Thomas.
• Verdict: match (name with the middle initial G; born October, in Indiana, to Indiana-born parents; age within a year; his parents Nathan and Louisa living in the same township).
• Saved: yes. Name cited; Birth cited only (Oct 1881 not merged; 20 Oct 1880 stays); new Residence 1900, "Ontario, Knox, Illinois, USA" (description "Occupation: Farm Laborer; Marital Status: Single; Relation to Head of House: Boarder").

Household: Hazel Curtice, wife, 18; Verna Curtice, daughter, 0.
• Verdict: match (wife Hazel and daughter Verna, the place where Hazel's own line is already cited, age and birthplace).
• New fact: married about 1909 ("years married 1" in April 1910), which narrows the marriage the master gives only as "before Jan 1920 (probably by early 1910)".
• Saved: yes. Arthur: Name cite; Birth cite only; new Residence 1910, "Gillett Grove, Clay, Iowa, USA" (description "Occupation: Farmer; Marital Status: Married; Relation to Head of House: Head").

Next record (266414180, same dwelling): Hazel L. Curtis, wife, 58, born Nebraska (see H0064).

• Saved: yes. Name cite; Birth cite only; new Residence 1950, "Alturas, Modoc, California, USA" (description "Occupation: Superintendent; Relation to Head of House: Head; Marital Status: Married").

• Verdict: match (Arthur G. with wife Hazel L.; their daughter Adelaide was in Minneapolis in 1944).
• Saved: yes. Name cite; new Residence 1944, "Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA", description "2740 Aldrich Av.; factory worker; wife Hazel L. (Minneapolis city directory, 1944)". Hazel not included here (her own line, 1023253293, saved to her separately).

H0064 Hazel Lucile Cook (Ancestry 102705343019)

11 records: 5 saved, 5 already there, 1 skipped (Geneanet tree index), 0 not a match.

Saved

1. 1900 United States Federal Census (7602), 55283690:7602 (her own line; the master cites her father's line, 55283686, whose image was read in the 3b pass).

• Julian, Nemaha Co., Nebraska, sheet 2, dwelling 224, family 229: "Hazel T Cook" [L], daughter, 8, born Sep 1891, Nebraska, single, student; father James Cook, mother Addie M Cook. Household: James (35, head), Addie M. (34, wife), Arthur J. (12), Lena E. (10), Hazel T. (8), Blanche (5), Chas H. (3), Calixte C. (1).
• Verdict: match (the household already proven in the master; birth month and year).
• Saved: yes. Name and Birth cited only; new Residence 1900, "Julian, Nemaha, Nebraska, USA" (agrees with the master). The panel offered her father James Cook as a new person (it did not match the tree's "potential father" James Harrison Cook) and her mother and siblings likewise: none included.

2. 1950 United States Federal Census (62308), 266414180:62308.

• Alturas, Modoc Co., California, 11 North Street, dwelling 355, not a farm: Hazel L. Curtis, wife, 58 (born abt 1892), white, female, born Nebraska, married; counter girl, laundry, 48 hours, private worker. Her husband "Arthur C Curtis", 69, born Indiana, head, is the preceding record (see H0054).

• Verdict: match (Hazel L. with husband Arthur G.; same entry as his line, 1023253292).
• Saved: yes. Name cite; new Residence 1944, "Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA" (no description field was offered). Arthur not included from this panel (his own line was saved to him).

4. U.S., Social Security Death Index, 1935-2014 (3693), 13682241:3693.

• Hazel Curtis; born 27 Sep 1891; number issued Minnesota, before 1951; last residence and last benefit 98626, Kelso, Cowlitz, Washington; died Jan 1978.
• Verdict: match (exact birth date, death month, Minnesota issue, Kelso–Longview ZIP).
• Saved: yes. Name, Birth and Death cited; the "Residence before 1951, Minnesota" (the number's issue) was not added.

5. Washington, U.S., Death Records, 1907-2017 (6716), 200842:6716.

• Hazel L Curtis, female, age 86 (birth "abt 1892", computed); residence Longview, Washington; died 28 Jan 1978, Longview, Washington; certificate 000277.

• Proves the death place Longview (the master already has Longview from her obituary; the Hegnauer/Putt Death fact still says Kelso, unsourced).
• Saved: yes. Name and Death cited; Birth cite unticked ("abt 1892" is computed); the undated Residence "Longview" was not added. Not done: changing the tree's Death place from Kelso to "Longview, Cowlitz, Washington, USA". An edit of the existing fact on the Facts page was refused by the session's permission classifier, so it is left for the lead (see summary).

1. Missouri, U.S., Newspapers.com Stories and Events Index, 1800's-current (50054), 4372755454:50054. Page image read: The El Dorado Springs News (El Dorado Springs, Cedar Co., Mo.), Thu 17 Jun 1909, p. 8, newspapers.com/image/959124542.

• Index (AI-extracted): Robert Hegnauer; topic Other; 17 Jun 1909, El Dorado Springs.
• Page: an editorial note (a public clipping on the page is titled "In Search of Health"): the editor, leaving for his health, writes that "The employes in the mechanical department, Arthur Hays, Miss Mabelle Reid and Robert Hegnauer, being thoroughly familiar with the situation, have kindly consented to take charge of the paper and business during our absence".
• Verdict: possible, not proven. The only identifier is the name. Robert Lucius (then 21, single, living with his parents at Appleton City, about 35 miles north, before entering the University of Illinois that autumn) is the only Robert Hegnauer known to the study in that region and at that time, but nothing in the item names his parents, his age or his home. A search of Missouri papers for 1909 ("Hegnauer" with "El Dorado") found no second item tying him to the paper.
• Saved: no (lead; see summary).

2. U.S., School Catalogs, 1765-1935 (2203), 4419447:2203.

• Index: Mrs R L Hegnauer; 1916; University of Illinois; residence Wells, Minnesota. The image (the geographical section of the 1916 University of Illinois Directory, Minnesota, under WELLS) shows two lines: "[Hegnauer Robert] L (ag '13 BS) Teach" and "[Hegnauer Mrs R] L (mus '13) Home". This record is the second, his wife's line.
• Verdict: not his own line (the triage's "Residence 1913 Urbana; Occupation 1916" are not in it). It is a match for H0063 Lotta (Mrs. R. L. Hegnauer; Wells; music, 1913, as in the master's "sp mus 1912–13").
• Saved to Robert: no. Saved to Lotta (H0063): yes (see below). His own entry in the 1916 directory is already on him (4369242).

Summary

Counts

Also cited from the same panels (people outside this chunk, all already in Hegnauer/Putt and matched; no new people were created): H0171 Carolyn Ramona Emerson (her 1990 WA death record, via Robert Jr.'s spouse line: Name, Birth, Death cited) and H0174 Verna Violet Curtis (1910 census, via Arthur's line: Name and Birth cited, new Residence 1910 Gillett Grove).

The chunk is complete; nothing is left to resume.

Facts the records prove that the study does not have yet

• H0025 Robert Jr., Navy service (muster-roll images read):
  • The May 1944 Report of Changes of the Receiving Station, Puget Sound Navy Yard, Bremerton, gives his date of enlistment as 18 Dec 1943, Minneapolis. The master has 12 Aug 1943 (Farragut roll): a conflict to resolve. His rating was MM2c(SR), class V6 SV.
  • Received 2 May 1944 at the Receiving Station, PSNY, from the Ship Repair Training Unit, PSNY (USS YRD(M)-7 detail), and transferred 15 May 1944 to USS YRD(M)-7 for duty.
  • Received 24 Jan 1945 under Commander Service Squadron Ten, repair unit "C" (USS Luzon), Ship Repair Unit No. 1 (roll series "Rep Kwajalein Island, Marshall Islands").
• H0025, 1958: the only candidate for school director, Director District No. 2 (two-year term), School District No. 118, Cowlitz County, at the election of 11 Mar 1958 (Longview Daily News, 6 Mar 1958, p. 15, legal notice). Whether he was elected is not known.
• H0025, undated address: 217 4th Ave NW, Puyallup, Wash. 98371 (Public Records Index, Vol. 2).
• H0054 Arthur, 1900: a boarder and farm laborer in Otto F. Rylander's household, Ontario township, Knox Co., Illinois, age 18, born Oct 1881, Indiana.
• H0041 / H0283 (Arthur's parents), 1900: "Nathen Curtis", head, born Jan 1852, Indiana, wife Louisa, in the same Ontario township, Knox Co., Ill. (search result only; record not opened or saved).
• H0054/H0064 marriage: about 1909. The 1910 census at Gillett Grove, Clay Co., Iowa, gives Arthur as married 1 year, with Hazel (18) and Verna (0). Arthur was a farmer renting a farm.
• H0054/H0064, 1944: living at 2740 Aldrich Av., Minneapolis; Arthur a factory worker.
• H0054/H0064, 1950: living at 11 North Street, Alturas, Modoc Co., California; Arthur a laundry superintendent, Hazel a counter girl in a laundry. This fills the gap before Hazel's "came to the Carrolls area in 1952".
• H0064 Hazel, death: the Washington death index gives Longview, residence Longview, certificate 000277 (1978), which settles the master's open question (Longview, not Kelso). The certificate can be read on Washington Digital Archives. The Hegnauer/Putt Death fact still says Kelso: the lead should change its place to "Longview, Cowlitz, Washington, USA" (the Facts-page edit was refused by the session's permission classifier).
• H0064 Hazel, burial: Find a Grave memorial 80014911, Granite Falls City Cemetery (where Arthur and their daughter Madge are buried). The master has no burial fact; the tree's Burial "1 Feb 1978, GRANITE FALLS,YELLOW MEDICINE,MN" is unstandardized and unsourced (1 Feb 1978 is the Maynard funeral date).
• H0064 Hazel, SSDI: Social Security number issued in Minnesota before 1951; last residence ZIP 98626 (Kelso).

Leads (not proven)

• H0017, 1909: "Robert Hegnauer", an employee in the mechanical department of The El Dorado Springs News, one of three left in charge of the paper in June 1909 (El Dorado Springs News, 17 Jun 1909, p. 8). Probably Robert Lucius, but it needs a second identifier.
• H0054: Ancestry suggests a WWI draft registration card (1917–1918) for "Arthur Garfield Curtis" and an Iowa State Census entry for "A G Curtis" (not opened).
• H0003 Leonhard (seen in passing): Appleton City Journal, 8 Jul 1909, p. 4: "C. Tontz, a prominent citizen of Alhambra, Ill., is visiting at the home of L. Hegnauer in the east part of the city. The gentlemen are cousins."
• Tree housekeeping for H0064: her parents James Harrison Cook and Adeline Marie Heywood are only "potential" parents in Hegnauer/Putt, and the 1900 census panel offered James as a new person rather than matching him. Confirm the parent links before saving more Cook family records.

Chunk 2 (27 Sep 2026): H0056, H0057, H0101, H0103, H0055, H0060

Same method, same tab (1013502130). Every save went through /merge/tree/206849982/person/<id>?sourceGid=<record>:<collection>, and each merge page's visible text showed "in your tree: Hegnauer/Putt" (and no "Hegnauer (Old)" or 165462681) before Save was clicked; each save was then checked by finding the record id in the person's Facts page source. No new people were created: every relative the panels offered (spouses, children, and one living grandchild offered as a NEW PERSON) was left unticked. Member-tree links (10 for these six people) were skipped as the triage directs.

• Index: J. I. Wilson, male; spouse Lucy Wilson; child Millie Mae Wilson. The principal record, 2756997:2378: Millie Mae Wilson, married 13 Mar 1936, Montesano, Grays Harbor Co., to Joseph H Pearson; father J. I. Wilson; mother Lucy Wilson.
• Image read (the bride's half of the certificate, handwritten, turned sideways): bride 16, white, single, first marriage, born Oklahoma, student; name of father J. I. Wilson, born Arkansas; maiden name of mother Lucy Harris, born Arkansas; signed "Millie Mae Wilson". (The index of the mother's line reads the maiden name as "Harrison": see H0057.)
• This is a second index entry for the marriage the master cites as marrmillie1936 (whose father's line, 1354401433, is already on James and reads "J J Wilson"); this one reads the initials correctly.
• Verdict: match (J. I., his usual form; wife Lucy, née Harris; daughter Millie Mae, 16, born Oklahoma; father born Arkansas).
• Saved: yes. Name cite only. Lucy and Millie (both in the tree and matched) were not included: Lucy's own line is saved to her below.

2. Washington, U.S., Marriage Records, 1854-2013 (2378), 1355200724:2378 (the father's line in daughter Ruth's 1934 marriage record).

• Index: James A Wilson, male; spouse Lucy A Wilson; child Ruth E Wilson. Principal record 5200724:2378: Courtland W Bunker, 22, born abt 1912, Montana, married 26 Jun 1934, Montesano; father Duncan E Bunker, mother Mina A Bunker; spouse Ruth E Wilson.
• Image read (typed certificate of marriage, licence no. 10109, bride's column): RUTH E. WILSON, residence Aberdeen, Wn., 19, white, single, first marriage, born Missouri, occupation house work; name of father James A. Wilson [sic], born Arkansas; maiden name of mother Lucy A. Harris [sic], born Arkansas.
• Verdict: match despite the middle initials: Ruth E. (H0096, born Apr 1915 at Noel, Mo.) of Aberdeen, 19; father James, born Arkansas; mother Lucy, maiden name Harris, born Arkansas. The "A." initials are the informant's or the typist's; James was J. I. and Lucy M. everywhere else.
• Saved: yes. Name cite only; the "James A" name was not added. Lucy and Ruth (in the tree, matched) not included from this panel. The master H0096 (marr1934) says the record "has not been re-read in this study": the image is now read (licence 10109, the parents' names above).

Saved

1. Washington, U.S., Marriage Records, 1854-2013 (2378), 1202756997:2378 (the mother's line in Millie's 1936 marriage; triage flag obeyed).

• Index: Lucy Wilson, female, maiden name "Harrison" [the image reads Harris]; spouse J. I. Wilson; child Millie Mae Wilson. For the record and the image see H0056 above.
• Verdict: match (husband J. I. Wilson, daughter Millie Mae; the image gives her maiden name as Harris, born Arkansas).
• Saved: yes. Name cite only; the index's "Harrison" was not added as a name.

Saved

1. U.S., Evangelical Lutheran Church in America Church Records, 1781-1969 (60722), 154283685:60722.

• Index: Woodrow Elgia Wilson, male; spouse Lorraine L Lueck; child [a living daughter]. It is the father's line in one of the three 1943 baptisms at Immanuel Lutheran Church, Seattle, that the master cites as bapt1943 (whose link, 154283686, is another line of the same entries).
• Verdict: match (his full name, as written in the register, with his first wife Lorraine L. Lueck).
• Saved: yes. Name cite only. The panel matched Lorraine to Lucille Lorraine Lueck (H0178) and offered the daughter as a new person: neither included (the daughter is living and not in the tree).

2. Washington, U.S., Death Records, 1907-2017 (6716), 957203:6716.

• Index: Woodrow E Wilson, male; residence Puyallup, Washington; died 2 Nov 1966, Puyallup; certificate 025670.
• The triage flag ("index date 3 Nov 1966") does not hold: this index line gives 2 Nov 1966, as the certificate does (state file 25670). The 3 Nov date is the old tree's (from the headstone application).
• Verdict: match (name, certificate number 25670, date and place as on the certificate read for the master). A second index entry beside waidx (7606294).
• Saved: yes. Name and Death cited only (tree values kept); the undated Residence "Puyallup" offered as new was not added.

3. Washington, U.S., Marriage Records, 1854-2013 (2378), 48143:2378 (Digital Archives ref. swgrhmc13210).

• Index: Woodrow E Wilson; married 7 Oct 1939, Aberdeen, Grays Harbor, Washington; spouse Lorraine L Lueck.
• Verdict: match (the marriage the master cites as marr1939, 6422825:2378; this is the groom's line of a second index of it).
• Saved: yes. Name cited; the record cited on the existing Marriage to Lorraine L Lueck, 7 Oct 1939 (matched, not a new fact). Lorraine not included (her own line is on her).

Saved

1. U.S. City Directories, 1822-1995 (2469), 342788058:2469.

• Index (AI-extracted): Mary Worek; 1937; 209 Hacker av, Joliet, Illinois; occupation factory worker; Joliet, Illinois, City Directory, 1937. (The page image would not open from the record page; not read.)
• Identity check: a search of the collection for Worek with "Hacker" lists, in the same 1937 Joliet directory, Margaret, Andrew, Julia and Stanley Worek as separate entries beside Mary; so this is not her widowed mother.
• Verdict: match (name; 209 Hacker Avenue, the family's own house in 1930 and her address in the 1935 directory; her mother and siblings listed in the same year).
• Saved: yes. Name cite; new Residence 1937, "Joliet, Illinois, USA", description "209 Hacker Av.; factory worker (Joliet city directory, 1937)". This is before her marriage of 10 Oct 1937.

2. Washington, U.S., Death Records, 1907-2017 (6716), 2772154:6716.

• Index: Mary A Farnsworth, female, age 76, birth "abt 1918" [computed]; residence Grays Harbor, Washington; died 28 Mar 1994, Grays Harbor, Washington.
• The triage flag's worry (a line giving 15 Mar 1994) does not hold: this line gives 28 Mar 1994, the date of her death certificate. It is a second index entry beside waidx (321364), in her last married name.
• Verdict: match (Mary A., her married name Farnsworth, age 76, the certificate's date, Grays Harbor).
• Saved: yes. Name and Death cited only; the Birth cite was unticked ("abt 1918" is computed) and the undated county Residence was not added.

• Verdict: match (Margaret with her husband Martin, on Hacker Avenue, Joliet, where the family is found in 1920 and 1930).
• Saved: yes. Name cite; new Residence 1925, "Joliet, Illinois, USA" (the panel offered no description field for her). Martin, in the tree and matched, was not included from her panel (the panel offered him a 1925 Joliet Residence with "Occupation: Laborer"); his own 1925 line (a search result, "Martin Worek, 1925, Joliet, spouse Margaret Worek") is left as a lead for H0055.

Chunk 2 summary

The chunk is complete. Two triage flags proved unfounded: Woodrow's second death-index line (957203) gives 2 Nov 1966, not 3 Nov, and Mary Ann's second line (2772154) gives 28 Mar 1994, not 15 Mar.

Facts and leads from chunk 2

• H0096 Ruth Elizabeth Wilson, marriage 1934 (image read): certificate of marriage, licence no. 10109, Montesano, 26 Jun 1934, to Courtland W. Bunker: Ruth E. Wilson of Aberdeen, 19, single, first marriage, born Missouri; father "James A. Wilson", born Arkansas; mother "Lucy A. Harris", born Arkansas. The master (marr1934) says the record was not re-read; it can now cite the image.
• H0104 Millie Mae Wilson, marriage 1936 (image read): a second index entry for her marriage of 13 Mar 1936, Montesano, to Joseph H. Pearson (record 2756997:2378): bride 16, born Oklahoma, student; father J. I. Wilson, born Arkansas; mother Lucy Harris, born Arkansas.
• H0057 Lucy: both marriage images give her birthplace as Arkansas, as her death certificate does (the 1920 and 1940 censuses say Missouri).
• H0084 Helen Artlea Wilson: her SSACI entry (father's line 621035432, already on James) is indexed as Helen A Davies, a married name the master does not give (it has Fulbright). Lead for H0084.
• H0106 Roy Kenneth Wilson: his 1937 death is in the Washington Select Death Index (father's line 2486273:60229, already on James).
• H0103 Mary Ann, 1937: 209 Hacker Av., Joliet, factory worker (1937 directory). The same directory lists her mother Margaret and her siblings Andrew, Julia and Stanley on Hacker Avenue (a search result list; not opened): leads for H0060, H0093, H0097, H0090.
• H0060 Margaret, 1925: Joliet directory, Hacker Av., with her husband Martin. The search also shows directory entries for Margaret Worek in 1927, 1933, 1937, 1938, 1942, 1945, 1947, 1955 and 1956, some naming Martin (so a widow's listing): not opened; they could give her a residence for most years to 1956. Martin's own 1925 line (the panel offered "Occupation: Laborer") is a lead for H0055.

Death checks (27 Sep 2026)

Read-only searches of Ancestry (Social Security Death Index, Social Security Applications and Claims Index, U.S. Obituary Collection, Newspapers.com Obituary Index, Find a Grave index, state death and birth indexes, the "Death, burial, cemetery & obituaries" category), with Find a Grave and one Newspapers.com page read on their own sites. Records were saved only for the two people who are in Hegnauer/Putt (H0116, H0142), through the same checked merge path. Children and spouses who may be living are not named here.

H0299 Calixte Cook (Jr.): deceased 26 Apr 1968, Modoc County, California

• California, U.S., Death Index, 1940-1997 (5180), 11583883:5180: Calixte C Cook, male, born 10 Aug 1928, California; died 26 Apr 1968, Modoc County; mother's maiden name Fincke.
• U.S., Social Security Death Index (3693), 12166631:3693: Calixte Cook, born 10 Aug 1928; number issued California, before 1951; died Apr 1968.
• U.S., Newspapers.com Obituary Index (61843), 910582932:61843 (AI-extracted, page not read): "Calixite Clayton Cook", 40, born 19 Aug 1928 [sic; 10 Aug in the other two], Oakland, Alameda Co., Calif.; residence Alturas, Modoc Co.; obituary 1 May 1968, Redding Record-Searchlight and the Courier Free Press (Redding, Calif.); mother "Marga Cook"; a wife and two children named (not given here). No father is named.
• How identified: the rare name (Calixte, with the middle name Clayton, his father's name); the mother's maiden name Fincke, the "F." of his mother Margaretha F. (H0298), and "Marga Cook" in the obituary index; born 1928 (the study has 1929, from his 1950 census age); Alturas, Modoc County, where the family was enumerated in 1950.
• New for the lead: H0298's surname is probably Fincke; H0299's full name Calixte Clayton Cook and birth 10 Aug 1928, California (Oakland per the obituary index). He is not in Hegnauer/Putt: nothing saved.

H0302 Elmer A. Potter: deceased 2 Feb 2023, Bloomington, Hennepin County, Minnesota

• Web: Minnesota, U.S., Birth Index, 1900-1934 (9196), 119804:9196 (search result line): Elmer Arthur Potter, born 14 Nov 1928, Yellow Medicine County; mother's maiden name Curtis.
• U.S., Find a Grave Index (60525), 223081669:60525, and the memorial itself, 249229784 (read): Elmer Arthur "Bud" Potter Sr., veteran, born 14 Nov 1928, died 2 Feb 2023 (aged 94); Fort Snelling National Cemetery, section 33, site 4796; wife Emrolles Mary "Emy" Kramer Potter (1932–2019); son Elmer Arthur "Butch" Potter Jr. (1959–2018). No parents are linked.
• Obituary, Star Tribune (Minneapolis), Sun 12 Feb 2023, p. B11 (page read on Newspapers.com, newspapers.com/image/929573253; indexed as 1427051816:61843): "Potter, Elmer 'Bud'. Age 94 of Bloomington passed away Feb. 2, 2023"; preceded in death by his wife Emy, a son Butch and a grandson; survived by children [living], grandchildren and great-grandchildren; memorial service at Emmaus Lutheran Church, Bloomington, 22 Feb 2023; private interment at Ft. Snelling National Cemetery.
• How identified: full name Elmer Arthur and the exact birth date, 14 Nov 1928, are the same in the Minnesota birth index and on the memorial; the birth index gives his mother's maiden name as Curtis (Verna V. Curtis married Elmer N. Potter in Chippewa County in April 1928; Yellow Medicine County adjoins it, and the Curtis family is buried at Granite Falls); "Elmer A." is the name the old tree gives him. The obituary itself names no parents or birthplace.
• New for the lead: born 14 Nov 1928 (not 1929). Not in Hegnauer/Putt: nothing saved.

H0303 a living relative: no death record found

• Her birth was found: Web: Minnesota, U.S., Birth Index, 1900-1934, 9216:9196 (search result line): a living relative, born Dec 1929, Yellow Medicine County, mother's maiden name "Curtiss". So she was born in 1929, not 1930.
• Searched, with her exact birth date: the SSDI (12 women named Phyllis; none identifiable as her), the SSACI (six; none born in Minnesota), the Minnesota Death Index, 1908-2017 (only Phyllis Nancy Weber, mother's maiden name Greene: not her), the Find a Grave index (20; the only Minnesota one is Weber; Phyllis L. Bowell of Spring Valley, Wis., is née Lynch: not her), and the obituary indexes (by name, 1929, with Potter). Her married name is unknown, which blocks the search. Her brother Elmer's obituary (2023) lists no siblings.
• Verdict: no record found. She would be 96; the lead decides under the 100-year rule.

H0260 Homer Lee Swezy: deceased 26 Jun 2017, Adrian, Bates County, Missouri

• U.S., Find a Grave Index (60525), 145053619:60525: Homer Lee Swezy, born 12 Nov 1930, Pleasant Gap, Bates Co., Missouri; died 26 Jun 2017, Adrian, Bates Co.; Crescent Hill Cemetery, Adrian; father Walter F. Swezy; mother Clara M. Swezy; spouse named; memorial 180796435 (has a biography; not read).
• U.S., Cemetery and Funeral Home Collection (2190), 1306262861:2190 (an obituary, place Harrisonville, Mo.): Homer L. Swezy, 86, born 12 Nov 1930, Pleasant Gap, Mo.; died 26 Jun 2017; burial Adrian; parents Walter F. Swezy; Clara M. Swezy; his wife and three children named (not given here); siblings Paul, Ethel, David, Clyde, Elmer.
• How identified: name, both parents (Walter F. Swezy, H0256, and Clara, H0018, née Hegnauer), and the place: Pleasant Gap, Bates County, the Hegnauer family's home ground.
• New for the lead: born 12 Nov 1930, Pleasant Gap; the obituary's five siblings are more children of Clara (check against the study). Not in Hegnauer/Putt: nothing saved.

H0116 Betty Lou Putt: deceased 9 Jan 2012, Geneseo, Henry County, Illinois (saved)

• U.S., Obituary Collection, 1930-Current (7545), 86460738:7545 (AI-extracted index of an obituary, 10 Jan 2012, Davenport, Iowa): Betty Lou Bugbee, 80, born 12 May 1931, Moline; married 2 Dec 1956, Moline; residence Erie [Whiteside Co., Ill.]; died 9 Jan 2012, Geneseo; parents Lewis Putt; Rose Downing Putt; her husband and four children (not given here); siblings Robert, Ralph Putt, Vivian Putt.
• U.S., Social Security Death Index (3693), 91677078:3693: Betty L Bugbee, born 12 May 1931; number issued Illinois before 1951; died 9 Jan 2012.
• U.S., Find a Grave Index (60525), 40965203:60525: Betty Lou Bugbee, maiden name Putt, born 12 May 1931, Moline, Rock Island Co.; died 9 Jan 2012, Geneseo, Henry Co.; Erie Cemetery, Erie, Whiteside Co., Ill.; her husband named (possibly living; not given here); memorial 85597366.
• Also seen (not opened): the Newspapers.com Obituary Index entry 651179223:61843, with the same parents.
• How identified: her parents Lewis Putt and Rose (H0074, H0076), her siblings Ralph (H0111) and Vivian (H0115), and Moline, where the family lived in 1935 and 1940; maiden name Putt on Find a Grave.
• Saved to Betty Lou Putt in Hegnauer/Putt (102705347713):
  • Find a Grave index: Name cited; Birth changed from "abt 1932, Illinois" to 12 May 1931, Moline, Rock Island County, Illinois (the old value was only an estimate from her census age); new Death 9 Jan 2012, Geneseo, Henry County, Illinois; new Burial, Erie, Whiteside County, Illinois. Her husband, offered as a new person, not added.
  • Obituary Collection: Name, Birth and Death cited; the undated Residence "Erie" and the Marriage 2 Dec 1956 (whose spouse is not in the tree) not added; parents, husband, children and siblings not included.
  • SSDI: Name, Birth and Death cited; "Residence before 1951, Illinois" not added.
  • Her profile now shows 1931–2012. Ten hints on her profile (these three among them, plus the 1950 census, a 1956 Moline marriage notice, a 1957 directory and public-records entries) were left as they are.
• New for the lead: H0116 is deceased (living flag to N); born 12 May 1931; married name Bugbee (m. 2 Dec 1956, Moline). H0076 Rose: her daughter's obituary index calls her "Rose Downing Putt", the first record seen for the maiden name Downing (so far only in the old tree).

H0313 a living relative: no record found

• Identity from the 1940 census (old tree's citation, 64558891:2442, index read): a living relative, 8, born Arkansas, son, in the household of Lee Wilson (33, head) and Mary E. Wilson (31, wife), with a daughter (2), at 1104 Smelter [St.], Pittsburg, Crawford Co., Kansas; in Pittsburg in 1935 as well.
• Searched: the death category with name, 1932 and father Lee; the SSACI (a living relative born 1932: no Billy T.; the Arkansas-born are a Billy Glenn and a Billy Joe). One unproven candidate: Find a Grave index 292049481:60525, Billy T Wilson, born 29 May 1932, died 4 Feb 2016, Laurel Land Memorial Park, Fort Worth, Texas; only the name and birth year fit, and nothing ties him to Lee Wilson or Pittsburg.
• Verdict: no record found.
• New for the lead: H0312 Lee Wilson's wife was Mary E. (31 in 1940), and the family was at Pittsburg, Kansas, in 1935 and 1940. Woodrow Wilson (H0101) and Mary Chrisman gave Pittsburg as their home when they married in 1950: Lee was Woodrow's first cousin.

H0321 a living relative: no proven record

• Identity from the 1950 census (old tree's citation, 66379233:62308, index read): a living relative, 10, born Washington, daughter of "Otis A." (36) and "Genieve H." (31) Wilson, Aberdeen, with four younger brothers [living].
• Candidate, not proven: Washington, U.S., Death Records, 3374536:6716: Ruth G Lyles, female, age 77, residence Grays Harbor, died 12 Sep 2016, Grays Harbor County. Name and initial, age (born Sep 1938–Sep 1939; Ruth G. was born Apr 1939–Apr 1940, so both fit only for Apr–Sep 1939) and county fit, but no record ties her to Odis and Genevieve: no Wilson–Lyles marriage in the Washington marriage records and no obituary found.
• Verdict: no proven record.
• Lead: her mother's obituary would give her married name: Web: Obituary Daily Times Index, 23492568:70050, "Genevieve H Wilson [(Valencourt) (Laduck) Wilson]", died about 1999, Seattle (search line only). H0229 Genevieve: the Washington death index line 2935325:6716 (search line) gives death 11 Feb 1999, King County, residence Grays Harbor, which bears on the "King Co. vs Aberdeen" conflict in the study's list of people; and "Laduck" suggests a marriage the study does not know.

H0327 a living relative: no record found

• Searched the death category (a living relative, 1940 ± 1, father Woodrow) and the Washington death records. The hits (for example a Karen L. Wilson born 22 Oct 1940 at San Antonio, Texas) do not fit. Her married name is unknown.
• Verdict: no record found.
• Lead: her mother's obituary (Lucille L. Hildbrand, died 2 Feb 2000, Aberdeen; indexed in the Obituary Daily Times index, see Lucille Lorraine Lueck) would name her daughters.

H0142 Ervinus Dale Chrisman: deceased 27 Jan 1981, Los Angeles County, California (saved)

• California, U.S., Death Index, 1940-1997 (5180), 1298005:5180: Erwin D Chrisman, male, born 23 Mar 1911, Iowa; died 27 Jan 1981, Los Angeles County; mother's maiden name "Broman".
• U.S., Social Security Death Index (3693), 10681017:3693: Erwin Chrisman, born 23 Mar 1911; number issued Indiana, before 1951; last residence 91732, El Monte, Los Angeles Co., Calif.; died Jan 1981. (The same number is in the California index.)
• How identified: (1) Erwin D. is the English form of the register's Latin "Ervinus Dale"; (2) born 23 Mar 1911 in Iowa, three weeks before his baptism at St. Paul's, Davenport, Iowa, on 16 Apr 1911 [reading, the study's sync notes]; (3) mother's maiden name "Broman", a misreading of Vroman (Loretta Vroman, his mother in the 1937 marriage register); (4) Social Security number issued in Indiana, where "Mary A. Chrisman" lived at Gary in 1945. Nothing contradicts. FamilySearch's "1916–Deceased" has the birth year wrong.
• Saved to Ervinus Dale Chrisman in Hegnauer/Putt (102705342192): CA death index (Name cited; new Birth 23 Mar 1911, Iowa; new Death 27 Jan 1981, "Los Angeles"; the place is as indexed and should be standardized to Los Angeles County, California); SSDI (Name, Birth and Death cited; "Residence before 1951, Indiana" not added). His profile now shows 1911–1981.
• Note: the H0103 worklog's rule for the private tree ("names only; add no birth…", because he was possibly living) is superseded by this death record, as this task directed. New for the lead: H0142 deceased (living flag to N); he went by Erwin D. Chrisman; born 23 Mar 1911, Iowa; last residence El Monte, Calif.

Same method, same tab (1013502130). Saves were made by loading /merge/tree/206849982/person/<id>?sourceGid=<record>:<collection> directly; before each Save a script confirmed that the URL carried 206849982, that the panel read "in your tree: Hegnauer/Putt", and that neither "Hegnauer (Old)" nor 165462681 appeared anywhere on the page. Each save was checked afterwards by finding the record id in the person's Facts page source. No new people were created: every relative offered (spouses, children, parents) who is not already in Hegnauer/Putt was left unticked.

1. 1930 United States Federal Census (6224), 80149985:6224.

• Index: Verna V Potter [alternate reading "Patter"], female, white, 19, born about 1911, Iowa; wife, married, age at first marriage 18; homemaker; not attending school; father born Indiana, mother born Nebraska; Maynard, Chippewa Co., Minnesota, dwelling 47, family 49. Household: Elmer N Potter, 24, head (truck driver, per the panel); Verna V, 19, wife; a son, 1; a daughter, 0; Stella M Potter, 38, sister [of the head].
• Her parents were enumerated at dwelling 46, family 48 (the master's census1930, 80149997): the young couple lived next door.
• Verdict: match (Verna V., 19, born Iowa, parents born Indiana and Nebraska as Arthur and Hazel were; husband Elmer N. Potter; married at 18, i.e. 1928; next door to her parents).
• Saved: yes. Name and Birth cited (tree values kept); new Residence 1930, "Maynard, Maynard, Chippewa, Minnesota, USA" (Ancestry's census place), description "Marital Status: Married; Relation to Head of House: Wife". Elmer and the two children (not in the tree) not included.

2. 1950 United States Federal Census (62308), 92913499:62308.

• Index: Verna Patter [alternate "Potter"], female, white, 39, born about 1911, Iowa; wife, married; Melville township, Renville Co., Minnesota, "Going North on Section 34-35", house "4 Mile Right 26", dwelling 36; same house as in 1949, on a farm; highest grade S11 [11th grade]; parents born USA. Household: Elmer Patter, 44, head; Verna, 39, wife; two sons, 16 and 5, and a daughter, 3 [Sharon, H0304]; Stella Potter, 58, sister [of the head].
• Verdict: match (Verna, 39, born Iowa; husband Elmer, 44, and his sister Stella, as in 1930; daughter aged 3 fits Sharon Lynn, born 1947).
• Saved: yes. Name and Birth cited; new Residence 1950, "Melville, Renville, Minnesota, USA", description "Relation to Head of House: Wife; Marital Status: Married". An undated "Residence, Renville" (the index's inferred previous residence) was unticked. Husband and children not included.
• New to the study: the two sons (born about 1934 and 1945) are not among H0302–H0304; with Elmer Arthur (H0302) and Phyllis (H0303), who were not at home in 1950, Verna had at least five children (see item 4).

3. Minnesota, Birth Index, 1935-2000 (8742), 309548668:8742 (the mother's line in a living daughter's birth entry).

• Index: Verna Violet Potter, female, maiden name Curtis; spouse Elmer Nelson Potter; child [H0304, living].
• Verdict: match (full name with the maiden name Curtis, husband Elmer Nelson Potter).
• Saved: yes. Name cite only; Elmer and the child (not in the tree) not included.

4. U.S., Cemetery and Funeral Home Collection, 1847-Current (2190), 10475747:2190 (an obituary index entry from the Anderson-TeBeest Funeral Home, Montevideo; triage CHECK resolved).

• Index: Verna Violet Potter [alternate "Verna Violet Curtis"], female, death age 90; born 20 Apr 1910, Spencer, IA; married 28 Apr 1928, Montevideo; died 26 Jan 2001, Montevideo; buried 30 Jan 2001; "obituary date" 23 Oct 2024 [the date the funeral home's web page was indexed, not a publication date], obituary place Montevideo, Minnesota; father Arthur Curtis; six children named (two of them H0302 "Bud" and H0303; the others not in the study or living: not named here); siblings Arthur Curtis, Dorothy Harbour, Madge Curtis, Adelaide Hegnaure [sic], Inez Tallard.
• Verdict: match. The CHECK flag does not hold: the 2024 date is the web page's, and the entry gives her exact birth and death dates, her father and all five of her brothers and sisters by their married names.
• Saved: yes. Name, Birth and Death cited (tree values kept); the Burial date 30 Jan 2001 added to the existing Burial (place Lac qui Parle County and the description "Terrace Lawn Memory Gardens" kept): the master's burial is "after 26 Jan 2001" and notes the old tree's 30 Jan without a source; this record is that source. The Marriage ("Montevideo", 28 Apr 1928) was unticked because its spouse is not in the tree; father, children and siblings not included.
• New for the lead: burial date 30 Jan 2001; the funeral home's list of children gives H0303 Phyllis's married name (reported to the lead separately, not written here while she is treated as living) and three children the study lacks.

5. Web: Minnesota, Marriages from the Minnesota Official Marriage System (70873), 90314603:70873 (the bride's line of the marriage the master cites as moms, 314603).

• Index: Verna V. Curtis; married 28 Apr 1928, Chippewa, Minnesota; spouse Elmer N. Potter; certificate Bk I - Pg 78; source moms.mn.gov.
• Verdict: match (the master's marriage; her own line).
• Saved: yes. Name cite only. The panel ties the Marriage fact to the spouse: with Elmer (not in the tree) unticked, no Marriage could be added. Once H0301 is added to Hegnauer/Putt, this record should be re-saved to both to create the marriage.

H0092 Odis Alfred Wilson (Ancestry 102706533367)

8 records: 4 saved, 4 already there, 0 skipped, 0 not a match.

Saved

1. 1940 United States Federal Census (2442), 67441251:2442.

• Index: Otis Wilson [alternate "Ottis"], male, white, head, married, age 36 [sic], born "Wyoming" [sic]; 506 West Market [St.], Aberdeen, Grays Harbor Co., Wash., ED 14-19, sheet 7B, household 161; rented, $10 a month; same place (Aberdeen) in 1935; occupation "Torl [tool?] Tender", industry Road Project, class government work; 35 hours in the census week, 5 weeks worked in 1939, income $441; 8th grade. Household: Otis, 36, head; Genevieve Wilson, 21, wife; Ruth G Wilson, 6/12, daughter [H0321].
• Verdict: match, despite the age and birthplace: wife Genevieve, 21 (born 1918), and daughter Ruth G. (the Ruth G. of his 1950 household), in Aberdeen, on a government road project (his draft card of Oct 1940 gives a W.P.A. project). The index's age 36 and "Wyoming" disagree with every other record (born 8 Oct 1913, Missouri; 26 in 1940); the image was not read, and the entry was not cited on his birth.
• Saved: yes. Name cited; Birth not cited ("abt 1904, Wyoming"); new Residence 1935, "Aberdeen, Grays Harbor, Washington". The 1940 Residence was offered only as a merge into the existing Residence of 16 Oct 1940 (the draft card); it was neither merged nor cited there, so the April 1940 address (506 West Market) is not yet a fact in the tree: for the lead. Genevieve and Ruth (not in the tree) not included.
• For H0321 a living relative: aged 6/12 in April 1940, so born about Sep–Oct 1939, a few weeks after her parents' marriage of 29 Aug 1939.

2. 1950 United States Federal Census (62308), 66379231:62308.

• Index: Otis A Wilson, male, white, head, married, 36, born about 1914, Missouri; 1905 "Conger morgan" [street, as indexed], apartment "m", Aberdeen, dwelling 350; truck driver, construction company, private worker, 48 hours. Household: Otis A, 36; Genieve H Wilson, 31, wife; Ruth G Wilson, 10, daughter; and five sons, 9, 6, 6, 4 and 0 (living or presumed living; not named here).
• Verdict: match (Otis A., 36, born Missouri; wife Genevieve H., 31; daughter Ruth G.; Aberdeen).
• Saved: yes. Name and Birth cited (tree values kept); new Residence 1950, "Aberdeen, Grays Harbor, Washington, USA", description "Occupation: Truck Truck Driver; Relation to Head of House: Head; Marital Status: Married". Wife and children not included.

3. U.S., Find a Grave Index (60525), 131437194:60525.

• Index: Odis Alfred Wilson Sr.; born 8 Oct 1913, McDonald County, Missouri; died 22 Feb 1996, Aberdeen, Grays Harbor Co.; Fern Hill Cemetery, Aberdeen; father James Israel Wilson; mother Lucy M. Wilson; spouse Genevieve Helen Valancourt; memorial 160724503 (no biography).
• Verdict: match (the memorial the master names; parents and wife).
• Saved: yes. Name, Birth, Death and Burial cited only (tree values kept). His parents (in the tree) and Genevieve (not in the tree) were not included.

4. Washington, U.S., Marriage Records, 1854-2013 (2378), 599329:2378 (Washington State Archives ref. swgrhmc13140; the record the master cites as marr1939 through the old tree).

• Index: Odis A Wilson; married 29 Aug 1939, Aberdeen, Grays Harbor; spouse "Genevieve Watson".
• Image read (certificate of marriage, through the record page's magnifier; not every line seen): "County of Grays Harbor, ss. I hereby certify, that on the 29 day of August in the year … nineteen hundred and 39, at Aberdeen … by authority of a License bearing date the 28 day of August, A.D., 1939, and issued by the County Auditor of Grays Harbor County, did … join in lawful wedlock O. A. W[ilson] … and Genevieve Watson of [Grays] Harbor, State of Washington"; officiant Rev. F. E. Christ[…], Pastor, Church of God; witnesses [one a Wilson]; signed "[O.] A. Wilson, Groom" and "[Genevie]ve Watson, Bride".
• Verdict: match (O. A. Wilson, married at Aberdeen in 1939; the bride's given name; the reference the master cites).
• The image settles the year: 29 Aug 1939, as the master has (WikiTree's 1938 is wrong); licence dated 28 Aug 1939.
• New for the lead (H0229): the bride signed as Genevieve Watson, not Valancourt: at 21 she was probably a widow or divorcee, or had taken a stepfather's name. The master does not know the surname Watson.
• Saved: yes. Name cite only. The Marriage is tied to the spouse, who is not in Hegnauer/Putt ("Genevieve Watson" offered as a new person, unticked), so no Marriage fact could be added.

• The triage guess (a daughter's line) does not hold: this is his own birth entry, the Ancestry copy of the index the master cites from FamilySearch as keithbirth.
• Verdict: match (exact date, county, both parents by full name).
• Saved: yes. Name and Birth cited (tree values kept); Leonard and Phyllis (both in the tree, matched, not new) included, each with a Name cite only.

• Note for the lead: the master (Sep 2026) treats the first wife as living and unnamed; the study's list of people now has her as H0261 Zana Marie Hammargren, died 24 Jun 2014. The master's comments and the "(living; not named)" notes on the marriage and divorce need updating.

The master has no facts for Nathan (his tree birth, 28 Jan 1852 at Hebron, and death, 22 Jan 1926 at Spencer, are unsourced leads); identity rests on his wife Louisa/Louise (née Thomas, H0283), named with him as Arthur's parents on Arthur's 1966 death certificate, and on the places of Arthur's life (born 1880 in Porter Co., Ind.; at Spencer, Iowa, 1910–1920).

• Verdict: probable match (name, age 18, fitting his 28 in 1880, and Porter County, where he lived in 1880; no relative named). "Soiza Wolf", 16, in the same household, is worth checking against Louisa (born about 1853): the 1925 Iowa census gives her maiden name as Thomas, so probably not.

• Saved: yes. Only the new Residence 1900, "Ontario, Knox, Illinois, USA" was merged (description "Occupation: Farmer; Marital Status: Married; Relation to Head of House: Head"); the panel's "Marriage to Louisa Curtis" (1872) was unticked with Louisa (not in the tree), and no Marriage was created.

• Saved: yes. Name and Birth cited; new Residence 1910, "Spencer Ward 3, Clay, Iowa, USA" (the description set in the panel, with the street address, did not stick; the default "Occupation: Own Income; …" was saved).

5. 1920 United States Federal Census (6061), 28794627:6061.

• Index: Nathan Curtis, male, white, 67, born about 1853, Indiana; head, married; owns 715 East Fifth Street, free of mortgage, Spencer Ward 3, Clay Co., Iowa, ED 43, p. 2B; father born USA, mother Indiana. Household: Nathan, 67; Louisa, 66, wife.
• Verdict: match (wife Louisa; Spencer; his son Arthur was at 802 East 4th Street in Ward 1 in the same census).
• Saved: yes. Name and Birth cited; new Residence 1920, "Spencer Ward 3, Clay, Iowa, USA" (default description; the address did not stick).

6. Iowa, U.S., State Census Collection, 1836-1925 (1084), 757286:1084.

• Index: "Mathan Courtis" [alternates "Nathan Curtis"], male, white, 72, born about 1853, Indiana; head, married; Spencer Ward 3, Clay Co., Iowa, 1 Jan 1925; spouse "Louisy" (the save panel gives her as "Louisy Thomas"); father Phelander Curtis, mother Malinda Davis, parents married in Indiana. Household: "Mathan", 72; Louisy, 71.
• Verdict: match (wife Louisa, maiden name Thomas, as on Arthur's death certificate; Spencer Ward 3, as in 1910 and 1920).
• Saved: yes. Name and Birth cited; new Residence 1 Jan 1925, "Spencer Ward 3, Clay, Iowa, USA" (default description). Louisa (not in the tree) not included; the parents were not offered.
• New to the study: Nathan's parents, Philander ("Phelander") Curtis and Malinda Davis, married in Indiana; the Hegnauer/Putt profile shows them only as DNA "potential parents" (Philander Augustus Curtis and Malinda J Davis). This is the first record for them; the 1925 Iowa census card is the informant's statement (derivative) and should be read on the image.

(The tree's birth 28 Jan 1852 at Hebron and death 22 Jan 1926 at Spencer are still unsourced; the 1900 census supports January 1852, and he was alive at Spencer on 1 Jan 1925.)

1. 1940 United States Federal Census (2442), 61317861:2442.

• Index: Elizabeth Heggneuer [sic], female, white, 75, born about 1865, Switzerland; widowed; sister-in-law of the head; naturalized; 8th grade; no work or income in 1939, other income yes; Chehalem Center, Yamhill Co., Oregon (township 3, range 3 E, precinct 6), ED 36-6, sheet 61A; in 1935 "Rural, Jefferson, Oregon", on a farm. The indexed household is Louise Marnach, 70, wife [of the head, who is not in the indexed list], Elizabeth, and five people surnamed Strait and Moore (24 to 1), all "son" or "daughter" [the relationships look garbled; image not read].
• Verdict: match (the name as spelled phonetically; 75, born Switzerland; widowed since Christian's death in 1935; a farm in Jefferson County, Oregon, in 1935, where she and Christian lived at Metolius in 1930). The triage note holds: the 1935 place is Jefferson County, Oregon (the index says so; the old tree had standardized it to Kansas).
• Saved: yes. Name and Birth cited (tree values kept); new Residence 1935, place entered as "Jefferson County, Oregon" (typed over the index's "Rural, Jefferson, Oregon"; it may not be linked to Ancestry's standard place); new Residence 1940, "3 - R 3 E Precinct 6 - Chehalem Center, Chehalem Center, Yamhill, Oregon, USA" (Ancestry's census place; description "Marital Status: Widowed; Relation to Head of House: Sister-in-law").
• New to the study: where she lived as a widow: in 1940 with a sister-in-law's family at Chehalem Center, Yamhill County. "Louise Marnach", 70 (born about 1870), wife of the head, is probably her sister (a Stadler) or a Hegnauer sister-in-law: lead (the image would name the head).

2. Missouri, U.S., Compiled Marriages, 1851-1900 (4474), 16360:4474 (the master's marridx).

• Index: Christian Hegnauer, male; married 25 Mar 1886, Bates Co., Missouri; spouse Elizabeth Stadler.
• This is Christian's line (the collection is one line per couple): it is already on Christian (H0007) in Hegnauer/Putt. It cannot be merged into Elizabeth directly (the panel would match Christian to her), so it was saved from Christian's merge page with Elizabeth included (matched to her, "in your tree: Hegnauer/Putt"), with Name and Marriage cites for her.
• Verdict: match.
• Saved: yes (from Christian's panel), but not confirmed on her Facts page: her page source shows neither this id nor the marriage licence (7818007) that is cited on the couple's marriage, so citations on the shared Marriage probably are not listed there. Check on Ancestry's Sources tab.

3. Oregon, Death Index, 1898-2008 (5254), 231908:5254.

• Index: Elizabeth Hegnauer; died 7 Jan 1947, Portland; certificate 88; Oregon State Library, Death Index 1942–50.
• Verdict: match (name, date and place of her death certificate, deathcert).
• Saved: yes. Name and Death cited (tree values kept).

• Index: Helen A Fulbright, maiden name Wilson; married 13 Jan 1979, Grays Harbor Co., Washington; licence issued in Thurston County; spouse William R Davies [H0319].
• Verdict: match (the master's second marriage; her married name Fulbright and her maiden name Wilson).
• Saved: yes. Name cite only; William (not in the tree) unticked, and no Marriage fact was created.
• New to the study: the licence was issued in Thurston County (Olympia), though the marriage was in Grays Harbor.

1. 1950 United States Federal Census (62308), 224729820:62308.

• Index: Joseph Worek, male, white, 27, born about 1923, Illinois; head, married; 814 Oneida St., Joliet, Will Co., dwelling 60, ED 99-61, p. 6; tractor operator, steel mill, private worker, 48 hours. Household: Joseph, 27; Marge Worek, 21, wife [Marjorie Ann Peterson, H0331, born Nov 1928].
• Verdict: match (Joseph, born Illinois about 1922–23, in Joliet; wife Marge, 21, fits Marjorie Ann, whom the funeral home record and Find a Grave give as his wife).
• Saved: yes. Name and Birth cited (tree values kept); new Residence 1950, "Joliet, Will, Illinois, USA", description "Occupation: Tractor Operator; Relation to Head of House: Head; …". Marge (not in the tree) not included.

H0232 Adeline Marie Heywood (not in Hegnauer/Putt: transcribed only)

4 records: transcribed, nothing saved (she has no ancestry_id). The 1900 census (55283687:7602) is already transcribed from the image in the master (census1900); the other three were read now.

1. Nebraska, U.S., Select County Marriage Records, 1855-1908 (61335), 900237021:61335 (the bride's line of the marriage the master cites as marr1885, 237021).

• Index: Addie M. Haywood, female, white, age 19, born about 1866, Nebraska; married 2 Apr 1885, Auburn, Nemaha County office; father Charles Haywood; spouse James A. Cook [James H.]. Image not read.
• Verdict: match (the master's marriage; the bride's age, 19, fits a birth in Oct 1865).
• New to the study: her own line names her father, Charles Haywood (H0289), whom the master calls "probable" from an index entry it had not read. The image should be read to see how he appears (for example as consenting parent).

2. U.S., Find a Grave Index (60525), 36692942:60525 (the master's fagidx, "not read": read now).

• Index: "Adelaide M. Cook", female; born 1865; died Nov 1922; Camp Creek Cemetery, Otoe County, Nebraska; spouse James H. Cook; child Hazel Lucille Curtis; memorial 77894097 (no biography). The index gives no day of death and no death place: the old tree's "3 Nov 1922, Julian" is not from this entry.
• Verdict: match (husband James H. Cook, whose obituary says he was buried in Camp Creek cemetery; daughter Hazel).

3. U.S., Social Security Applications and Claims Index (60901), 762766095:60901 (the mother's line in a daughter's application).

• Index: "Adelaide M Heywood", female; spouse James H Cook; child Blanche Mildred Shiffer [H0295, "Mrs. Shiffer of Spokane" in 1919].
• Verdict: match (husband James H. Cook; daughter Blanche, married name Shiffer).
• New to the study (given name): two independent sources, her daughter Blanche's Social Security claim (the mother's name as Blanche gave it) and Find a Grave, call her Adelaide M.; "Addie" (1885, 1900, 1919) is the usual nickname for Adelaide. "Adeline Marie" (old tree, WikiTree) has no record behind it, and her granddaughter was named Adelaide Louise (H0105, born 1920). The lead should consider Adelaide M. as her name (middle name unproven).

Chunk 3 summary

The chunk is complete (all 13 people). Every triage flag for them was checked: H0174's funeral-home entry (2190/10475747) is Verna (the 2024 date is the web page's); H0027's 8742/9909099 is his own birth entry, not a daughter's; H0050's 1935 residence is Jefferson County, Oregon; H0082's California index line has no mother's maiden name.

New facts added to Hegnauer/Putt (all from the records above)

• H0174 Verna: Residences 1930 (Maynard) and 1950 (Melville, Renville Co.); Burial date 30 Jan 2001 added to the existing burial.
• H0092 Odis: Residences 1935 (Aberdeen) and 1950 (Aberdeen).
• H0026 Leonard D.: Residences 1948 (St. Paul, 2414 Bayless Pl., student) and 1950 (St. Paul).
• H0027 Keith: Residences 1950 (St. Paul), 1961 and 1962 (Minneapolis).
• H0012 Leonard: Residences 1920 and 1930 (Pullman); Burial date 13 Nov 1963 added to the existing burial.
• H0041 Nathan: Residences 1870 (Westchester, Porter Co., Ind.; probable), 1880 (Jackson, Porter Co.), 1900 (Ontario, Knox Co., Ill.), 1910, 1920 and 1 Jan 1925 (Spencer Ward 3, Clay Co., Iowa).
• H0050 Elizabeth: Residences 1935 (Jefferson County, Oregon) and 1940 (Chehalem Center, Yamhill Co., Ore.).
• H0110 Joseph: Residence 1950 (Joliet).
• H0178 Lucille (look-up below): Burial, Aberdeen (Fern Hill Cemetery). No existing value was changed; no person, marriage or divorce was created.

Facts the records prove that the study does not have yet (for the lead)

• H0041 Nathan K Curtis: his parents, Philander ("Phelander") Curtis and Malinda Davis, married in Indiana (1925 Iowa state census, 757286:1084); married Louisa 1872 (1900 and 1910 censuses); born Jan 1852, Indiana (1900); residences 1870–1925 as above; alive at Spencer on 1 Jan 1925. The master has no facts: all of these can go in.
• H0232 Adeline Marie Heywood: called Adelaide M. by Find a Grave and by her daughter Blanche's Social Security claim; "Adeline Marie" has no record. Her own marriage line (900237021:61335) names her father Charles Haywood. Find a Grave (memorial 77894097) gives only "Nov 1922", Camp Creek Cemetery, Otoe Co.: no day or place of death.
• H0092 / H0229: the 1939 marriage certificate (image, swgrhmc13140) gives 29 Aug 1939, licence 28 Aug, Rev. F. E. Christ[…], Church of God; the bride signed as Genevieve Watson. Her gravestone (Find a Grave 160724504) reads "Married Aug. 29, 1938" (a year off; the certificate wins).
• H0092: April 1940 at 506 West Market St., Aberdeen, on a government road project (the 1940 residence could not be added as a separate fact); 1950 at 1905 "Conger morgan" [street as indexed], truck driver for a construction company. Five sons at home in 1950 (the master says four; status unknown).
• H0026: in 1950 a social-science research assistant at the state university; at 2414 Bayless Pl. by 1948 as a student; death certificate 1950-MN-027399; birth certificate 1919-08983.
• H0027: birth file 1945-MN-049680; Washburn High School, Minneapolis, 1961–62 (probable). His first wife is H0261 Zana Marie Hammargren (d. 2014): the master's "living, not named" notes are out of date.
• H0012: 1930: 1904 Indiana Ave., Pullman, owned ($6,000), college instructor, first married at 29; the 1963 obituary index names a brother Robert (H0017).
• H0174 Verna: at least five children (the 1950 census has two sons the study lacks); her daughter H0303's married name is in the funeral-home entry (given in the report to the lead, not here).
• H0050 Elizabeth: 1940 with "Louise Marnach", 70, a sister-in-law's household, at Chehalem Center (lead).
• H0110 Joseph: married to Marge [Marjorie] by April 1950; tractor operator, steel mill; 814 Oneida St., Joliet.
• H0084 Helen: the 1979 marriage licence was issued in Thurston County.

Not done / to check

• H0050: the save of 16360:4474 to Elizabeth (through Christian's panel) could not be confirmed on her Facts page.
• Descriptions typed into the save panels stuck for H0026 (1948) and H0041 (1870) only; the others kept Ancestry's default descriptions (addresses are in the transcriptions above).
• H0174 and H0092: once Elmer N. Potter (H0301) and Genevieve (H0229) are added to Hegnauer/Putt, re-save the marriage records (90314603:70873 and 599329:2378) to create the Marriage facts.

Obituary look-ups (27 Sep 2026)

Read-only searches: Ancestry (Newspapers.com Obituary Index, U.S. Obituary Collection, Obituary Daily Times index, Find a Grave index, SSDI, Washington marriage and death records, ELCA church records), Newspapers.com (search pages and one page image) and Find a Grave (two memorials). One record was saved (to H0178, who is in Hegnauer/Putt).

(1) Genevieve Helen (Valancourt) Wilson, died 11 Feb 1999: obituary not found

• Index only: Web: Obituary Daily Times Index, 23492568:70050: "Genevieve H Wilson [(Valencourt) (Laduck) Wilson]", age 80, born about 1919, died about 1999, Seattle, published 15 Feb 1999 (the index does not name the paper; a Seattle paper is likely, and the Seattle Times of 1999 is not on Newspapers.com).
• Not found: no entry in the Newspapers.com Obituary Index or the U.S. Obituary Collection (Genevieve Wilson, 1999; Genevieve Valencourt); Newspapers.com full-text searches of Washington papers for 1999 ("Genevieve Wilson"; "Genevieve", "Wilson" and "Aberdeen"; "Valancourt"; "Genevieve Laduck") found no obituary (the Olympian, 18 Feb 1999, p. C6, is a classified page). The Aberdeen Daily World for 1999 does not appear to be on Newspapers.com.
• Find a Grave memorial 160724504 (read): Genevieve Helen Wilson Valancourt, born 23 Jun 1918, South Bend; died 1999, King County; Fern Hill Cemetery, Aberdeen, plot 11/21/10th; inscription "Married Aug. 29, 1938 / Wife Mom Grandma"; linked only to her husband. No children linked.
• H0321 a living relative (probable identification, not proven): her 1940 census age (6/12, so born about Oct 1939; see H0092 above) fits an Ancestry member tree ("Moberg-Nairn Family Tree") that gives Ruth Genevieve Wilson, daughter of Odis Alfred Wilson and Genevieve Valencourt, born 7 Oct 1939, Washington, died 12 Sep 2016, Grays Harbor. That death date is the date of the Washington death index line for Ruth G Lyles (3374536:6716, age 77, Grays Harbor), the candidate of the death checks. Two identifiers (name with initial G, death date and county) now tie the candidate to the tree's Ruth, but the tree is not evidence, the index age (77) is one year more than a 7 Oct 1939 birth gives, and no record names her parents. Verdict: probably Ruth G. (Wilson) Lyles, died 12 Sep 2016, Grays Harbor County; not proven. Next step: her 2016 obituary (Aberdeen Daily World or a funeral home), or a Wilson–Lyles marriage.
• Surviving children: not known without the obituary. The 1950 census shows Ruth and five sons (status unknown; not named here).

(2) Lucille L. Hildbrand (née Lueck), died 2 Feb 2000: obituary not found; Karen identified in a register

• Not found: no Newspapers.com Obituary Index or Obituary Collection entry; the Obituary Daily Times index has only "Lucille L Hildbrand [(Lueck) (Gilbertson) Hildbrand]", died about 2000, Aberdeen, born about 1922. Newspapers.com full text for "Hildbrand" in Washington, 2000, finds only an unrelated page (Columbian, 13 Sep 2000).
• Find a Grave memorial 142828325 (read): Lucille Lorraine Lueck Hildbrand, born 20 Sep 1921 [sic; 30 Sep in the birth index and SSDI], Chippewa County, Wis.; died 2 Feb 2000 (aged 78), Grays Harbor County; Fern Hill Cemetery, Aberdeen, plot F/15/6th Urn Garden. Linked: parents Herbert Hugo Lueck (1899–1979) and Signa Gilbertson or Gulbranson Jasper (1901–1974); a sibling, Rollin Herbert "Ron" Jasper (1924–1999); spouses "Woodrow Elwyn Wilson (1914–2004), m. 1939" [wrong man: her husband was Woodrow Elgia Wilson, 1917–1966], Merlin Godfrey (1917–1972, m. 1943), George Vernon Huff (1920–1981, m. 1955), Leonard Benjamin Lawter (1924–1988, m. 1955) and Gordon Carl Hildbrand (1920–1975, m. 1964); children Bonita Jean "Bonnie" (Wilson) Brockman (1941–1996) and Hazel Marie (Huff) Christensen (1946–2003). Karen is not linked.
• Saved to H0178 Lucille Lorraine Lueck (102798794295): Find a Grave index 117170442:60525: Name and Death cited; new Burial, "Aberdeen, Grays Harbor County, Washington, United States of America"; the index's birth (20 Sep 1921) not cited; parents, husbands and children not included.
• H0327 a living relative, identified: U.S., Evangelical Lutheran Church in America Church Records, Immanuel Lutheran Church, Seattle, baptisms of 25 Apr 1943: 4283686:60722, a living relative, born 1940 at Aberdeen (exact date given in the register; reported to the lead), baptised aged 2; father Woodrow Elgia Wilson, mother Lorraine L Lueck. The same day: 4283685:60722, Bonita Jean Wilson, born 13 Jun 1941, Aberdeen (so the old tree's "13 Jun 1940" for Bonnie, which clashed with Karen's birth, is wrong: Find a Grave also has 1941); and a third child, born Dec 1942 (possibly living; not named).
• Is Karen living? No death record found. The old tree's death date (9 Feb 2012) matches nothing: the SSDI has no Karen with her birth date except Karen L. Corbett (born in Mount Morris, Pa.; not her). Her married name is unknown. Verdict: status unknown; keep as living. Not saved anywhere (she is not in Hegnauer/Putt).
