Research Notes (Conflicts/Spelling/Followup)
CONFLICTS
Birth Date: That database uses between 2 Jan 1906 and 30 Jun 1906. Using her age (2) on the official 1910 census date of 15 Apr 1910 gives a birth date range from 16 Apr 1907 to 15 Apr 1908. [census-us-1910-ps-sd-stanley-101-2b]
SPELLING
Given Name: This database uses Theresa. The 1910 U.S. Census uses an alternate spelling of Teresa. [census-us-1910-ps-sd-stanley-101-2b]
FOLLOWUP
Did Tracy die August 1929? There may be a photograph in the Spear Archive with a caption that states that.
Most of the known records agree on the range of birth dates, and their intersection is used for this database. However, the one record that conflicts with all of them (there is no overlap between it and any of the others) was created when she was two, which seems like it should be the correct one. Are all of the others in error?
Theresa identified her nationality as German, though she was born in the United States. The nationality claim was no more recent than her grandparents. [marriage-racemacher-brech-1925]
