Research notes
[11 Aug 2026, SRC-391] Imported 11 Aug 2026 as a SIBLING of a direct ancestor, with a FamilySearch id so the row can be re-checked against the live tree. Name, dates and the family link only. NO PLACE IMPORTED: the tree's place strings are systematically wrong and are not evidence.
These are working notes, not finished prose: they carry the reasoning, the corrections and the things still marked to verify. They are kept here so the page itself can read as what is known.
