How to read this record

Every claim is tagged

Most family trees flatten everything into the same confident typeface. This one does not. The three research tags below are the whole point of the exercise: they say what a document proves, what the weight of evidence suggests, and what nobody has found yet. A fourth marks what the family stated directly, where no document has been retrieved at all — it is kept separate on purpose and is never quietly promoted to confirmed. A fifth marks biological evidence: a DNA result is not a document, and it is not testimony either. Two further labels mark where this page withholds information rather than lacking it.

Confirmed

Attested by a document that was actually retrieved and read — a census sheet, a government index, a grave marker, a family-written obituary.

Probable

Strongly supported but not nailed down: a user-contributed tree, a masked index field, or a chain of consistent circumstances. Believable, not proven.

Not found

Searched for and not located. This is a statement about the search, not about the person — the record may well exist somewhere unsearched.

Family testimony

Supplied by the family and recorded on their word — no document has been retrieved for it. Note the diamond rather than the dot: this is provenance, not proof, and it stands apart from the three record tags above S24.

DNA evidence

Biological evidence consistent with a claim. It corroborates origins; it does not by itself establish a person or a link. Note the bar rather than a dot or a diamond: no DNA result on this page is ever counted as confirmed, because no document was read for it S46.

Living — withheld

The person is living. On the charts and in the chains of names a living person appears by name and relationship. A living adult’s full record is on their own card, published with the family’s consent and kept out of search engines. A minor appears by name only. The privacy note at the head of the page gives the rule in full.

Research in progress

A branch that is actively being worked on. The node exists in the structure so the shape of the family is honest; the detail is simply not in yet.

Roberts — 60 pages

A single dated service photograph. Earl Theodore Roberts aboard USS Wexford County (LST-1168) at Pearl Harbor in 1958 — Earl's step-grandfather, third husband of Aileane Marie Silva. Not the same Roberts family as Anna Blanche Roberts (1892–1942), Earl's great-grandmother on the Proeger side; two unrelated Roberts lines married into this tree.
