Data Discrepancies

Field Source A Source B Resolution
Generational suffix "III" (family tree data) Father is "Walter H." (different middle initial) Explained by FaG #14767572: Walter Sr. had a son Walter Henry Eggers Jr. (1927-1936) who died at age 9. Walter J (born 1930) was the third Walter in the family, hence "III," despite the different middle initial.
Siblings Only Jim listed (obituary) Florine, Walter Jr., Marie also listed (FaG #14767572) FaG memorial for Walter Sr. lists 3 other children not in obituary. Walter III and Jim not listed on FaG (alive in 2006 when memorial created).
