Open questions touching these claims

  • Which record-grade documents fix Louise's 1954 New Iberia marriage, her 1975 Denver divorce, her 1991 Snowmass Village marriage and her 2000 Glenwood Springs death? Each is known today from a compiled profile, or from a single obituary that prints the day without the year.

    Status
    open
    Next action
    In order: the Iberia Parish Clerk of Court's marriage licence of January 1954, which names both parties' parents and would also give Thomas N. Frisby's parents at record grade; the Lafayette newspaper item of 1 February 1954 (subscription images only, so no URL is recordable); the Colorado divorce index 1851–1985 or the Denver District Court decree of 1975; the Pitkin County Clerk and Recorder's 1991 marriage entry; the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment death index for 2000, the certificate itself being restricted, and The Daily Advertiser item of 4 October 2000. No online Colorado index covers any of the four. Each event is promoted to confirmed only from one of these; her death in particular stays supported until one document prints both the day and the year.
