Carol A. Wells-Perlaky's Notations:
Notation 1: First name may actually been Esther? I have come across some women, named Esther, having their names shared as Easter or Ester on paper records. The marriage records are all over the place with the site-shared transcriptions of her name, with "Easter" being one. In the 1850 US Census, her named is shared as "Esther" there. In my tree I suppose one could say I "went with the crowd" and have her shared in it as "Easter Stice".
Notation 2: Share DNA matches with this person's known descendants.
Notation 3: Known ancestor of Carol on maternal side of her family tree.
