Documentation
Nearly all of the information about the family members are confirmed with documents in hand.
The few pieces of information without documents in hand for confirmation are enclosed using brackets "{ }".
Currently the only information where this clarification occurs are the cases where:
a father & son share the same name & there are no documents showing the father used "Sr." as a name suffix &\or the son used "Jr." as a name suffix.
In these cases, to distinguish between the father & son in the database, the "{Sr.}" name suffix has been added to the father's name & the "{Jr.}" name suffix has been added to the son's name.
