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.
Attested by a document that was actually retrieved and read — a census sheet, a government index, a grave marker, a family-written obituary.
Strongly supported but not nailed down: a user-contributed tree, a masked index field, or a chain of consistent circumstances. Believable, not proven.
Searched for and not located. This is a statement about the search, not about the person — the record may well exist somewhere unsearched.
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.
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.
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.
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.

The sources below are cited inline throughout; the list is the count, and no total is printed here because a hand-written one drifted twice. Raw retrieved pages and record images are held in the private research directory, not on this site. Not every entry is a document, and each one that is not is labelled so that no reader mistakes it for one: S24 is what the family said, S46 is a DNA result, S57 is a relative's Ancestry tree, S58 is a published family genealogy quoting a will nobody here has read, S59 is an 1878 subscription biographical directory, and S66 is a published family genealogy whose Page County search found nothing and whose second search, on new names, found two generations at Probable. Those carry most of the depth below the second-great-grandparents, which is exactly why the tags matter. S25–S35 were added on 13 September 2026 with the Timberman and Caffey findings, S36–S45 later the same day with the Walker, Peters and Selland findings and the two paternal upgrades, S46 that night with the DNA, S47–S56 on 14 September with the Silva and Rose findings, S57–S63 the same day with the full-depth pedigree and the two portraits, S64–S66 on 15 September with the Azores lodge registers and the Kauffman-Coffman book, and S67 the same evening with Frank Silva Sr's 1946 obituary, the notice that confirmed Faial. S68–S73 followed on 16 September — Julius Proeger's Pennsylvania death certificate and his Kirchberg baptism, Medie Owens's Texas death certificate, the Peters–Selland marriage record, the Coffman family typescript and the memorial livestream — with S74–S77 the four Røldal parish entries and S78 the Pasadena press on Robert W. Coffman's career. S79–S88 were added on 17 September 2026: they are documents that were already published in the Documents section and were being cited on the cards above as though they were tree entries — the 1919 Ohio death certificate and the 1917 draft card, Mary Jane Wright's 1934 Texas certificate, the Page County birth register, the two Coffman gravestones, Dr. Wright's 1878 will and his printed county-history biography, the Martin headstone, the 1930 Jackson County census and the 1946 Roberts marriage record. S89 followed the same day — the 1962 Abilene Reporter-News interview in which James Burton Coffman names his niece at Abilene Christian, the only non-family source on this page for two facts that had been resting on the family obituary alone. S90–S102 were added on 17 September 2026 in the reconciliation pass: the Ohio birth index and CA Death Index that identified Anna Blanche Roberts's parents (S90–S91), the 1900 census of the Henry Roberts household in Wheeling, WV (S92), the PA death certificate and 1860 census that confirmed the Timberman grandparents (S93–S94), the TN marriage record and 1850 censuses that confirmed the Martin/Chenault line (S95–S98), the NJ Birth Index for Louise Timberman (S99), and the three DNA results — 23andMe paternal and maternal haplogroups and the GEDmatch "Are Your Parents Related?" test (S100–S102). The existing numbering has never been disturbed, so every citation printed above still points where it always did.

Where we looked and found nothing
Records were reached through the family’s own Ancestry, FamilySearch and Archion subscriptions and through public archives; no paywall or CAPTCHA was bypassed. One false lead is worth remembering: the apparent “Proeger” in the 1950 Texas census is a Kroeger, an unrelated family with no nine-year-old boy in it. What is still being looked for is on the front page under What is still unknown.
