Research status

Research status: PROBABLE as the husband of Eva Mae Coffman Manly. The evidence is strong: a Texas county marriage index names the couple, and the index of the 1950 census lists them together S1738. It stays Probable because the marriage index shows no date, and every record read is an index: no image has been read.

Evidence: A Texas county marriage index names him and Eva Mae Coffman, and the index of the 1950 census lists them together; the index of his Social Security claim gives his birth on 25 January 1917 at Lueders, Jones County, Texas, and the index of his draft card the same date; the Find a Grave index gives his death on 27 September 1996 (S1738). The evidence is strong. Weak or missing: The marriage index shows no date; the Find a Grave index gives 1916 for his birth; no place of death is known; every record is an index, and no image has been read.

Compiled for the Proeger family

Living adults appear by name and relationship, with the year only: no full date of birth and no home town on any page that search engines index, and a living person’s own page is kept out of search engines. Minors appear by name only — no date of birth, no birth year, no age, no school, no place, no address, no other identifying detail. A minor may be named and may appear in a family photograph; nothing further about them is published. Where it is not established whether someone is an adult or a minor, the minor rule applies.
