NO specific age was stated for any family member NO place of birth was stated – city, state, or country NO marital status was stated – single, married, widowed, divorced NO family relationship was stated – brother, sister, cousin, son, daughter, wife, inlaw, etc… NO occupation was stated NO parental birthplaces are stated NO race was stated [but assume “white”]
