Reading notes

Things to be careful about

  • This is a public family-created page, not a civil record or newspaper source.
  • The page's Thomas birth date conflicts with the current person record date of 1 March 1878 and with the 1880 census age for Thomas H Armstrong.
  • The page's Orpha Hill statement may explain the Effie/Epha/Alpha Hill reading in Paul's birth registers, but it should not be normalized without direct evidence.
  • The page names Thomas's mother as Mary Shawaker Armstrong; compare with existing person-mary-margaret-schauweker-1845 only after image-backed evidence is found.
