Reading notes

Things to be careful about

Transcribed from the public NARA Catalog proxy record on 26 April 2026.
The catalog record gives the name only as "D PONCEBY"; linked to Donald Edwin Ponceby because the month/year birth and death facts match existing Donald evidence.
The public NARA Catalog scope note includes a Social Security number; it was intentionally redacted from the local text artifact and not normalized into extracted_facts.
The catalog record is a descriptive/index record, not the underlying Railroad Retirement Board pension claim file.
