Open questions touching these claims

Paul is named as her father by the 1950 census schedule and by a 2022 and a 2023 obituary, but Emily's motherhood rests on a sibling inference through Joan's obituary and on the schedule's "wife of the head" and "daughter of the head" columns, which state relationship to the head only.
