Well I am back again meddling in the records, but this time
on the Kerr line. As you may or may not know great-great grandfather Robert
Marion Kerr had two wives who were cousins; Nancy Jane Rawlins and Margaret
Elzirah Rawlins. They were married
three years apart. In New Family Search
and also in Family Search Family Tree there were two children listed in the
families of both marriages. In order to
correct this in New Family search, I would have had to submit this to the Data
Administrator for correction. Now in
Family Tree I was able to correct this by submitting just an explanation. I brought up the family and clicked on edit
relationships and deleted the relationship of the two boys that did not belong
to Nancy Jane Rawlins. Since both
individuals had the same PIN number the relationship to the correct mother was
not affected. I should have taken
screen shots to demonstrate how easy this was, but there are more errors to
correct and I will remember to document my work.
In my database I only have George McCauslin Kerr and his
brother James Harvey Kerr listed as children.
I will have to research the situation.
If this is correct, George and Joseph were twins and both were born and
died on the same day.
Elzirah must have died in childbirth, because she died 9 days after the birth of her son James Harvey.
Another mystery to be solved.
