Open questions what is probable, weak or missing — confirm or correct it

Weak or missing
What is weak or missing: the marriage was read from the index, not the register, and names no parent of the bride; the index spells her Evia; the obituary gives only her married name; no death certificate or obituary of hers has been read. No child of hers is named here. Know more? Use “Add to this record”.

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.
