claim:thelma-kerr-frisby:name:1nameThelma Jean Karr Frisby

Thomas Newton Frisby's Texas birth certificate names his mother as Thelma Jean Karr. The 1910 census places Thelma Carr in M. E. Carr's household; Carr and Kerr are retained as source variants, while Karr is the certificate spelling.

Conflicts and open questions

  • Question question:thomas-n-frisby:parentage (open)

    What documentary chain connects the Saunders family to Thomas Newton Frisby? His Texas birth certificate now confirms A.J. Frisby and Thelma Jean Karr as his parents, while Tom Frisby's manuscript and family emails provide the remaining family testimony for Fay → A.J. and J.B. Saunders Jr. as Fay's brother and Thomas's great-uncle.

    Next: The Thomas parentage portion is answered by Texas birth certificate K6GF-MKL. Resolve only the remaining Saunders generation reading with Easter Fay's Texas death certificate no. 86199, the 1900 Hill County and 1910/1920 Saunders census images, Joseph B. Saunders Sr.'s obituary/death record, and a full copy of Joseph Benjamin Saunders Jr.'s 1989 obituary. Do not expand A.J.'s initials or promote Saunders kinship without those records.

  • Question question:thelma-kerr-frisby:identity (open)

    When did Thelma Jean Karr Frisby live, and does a marriage record name her as A. J. Frisby's wife? Her son's Texas birth certificate now names her as Thomas Newton Frisby's mother, and the 1910 census links her to Millard Eugene Karr's household.

    Next: Search Smith and Grayson County marriage indexes c. 1928–1932 for FRISBY A. J. + KARR/CARR/KERR Thelma; then the Texas Death Index and Tyler cemetery records for a death date. Parentage is answered; the spouse relationship stays supported until a marriage record is read.
