Evidence grades

  • Census- or vital-record supported: recent parent-child steps are named or placed in compatible households by census, marriage, death, or comparable records.
  • Secondary-supported: a compiled genealogy supplies one or more early generations while local records independently establish the people involved.
  • Strong probable: the relationship is well supported, but one part of the settler claim still lacks direct settlement-era proof.

Each generation is judged separately. Marriage, surname, proximity, or a shared household does not by itself establish descent.
