Then DNA showed me I had to cite even more sources, because my 2nd great-grandpa had an affair from about 1923 to 1927 and I have a still living half great-grand aunt. Got a good 1925 state census source to show how close he lived to the affair partner.
It was a fun mystery to figure out. My half great grand aunt’s niece helped out tremendously and even though I’m not related to her she’s “adopted” me as a cousin. We are not telling our 97-year-old aunt. It’s complicated.
