Census ages and reported origins remain source assertions. A household relationship to its head does not automatically establish biological maternity. Earlier qualifications and conflicting evidence remain preserved.

Earlier archive notes (preserved): Research update — October 7–8, 2026 (original records reviewed):

Margaret E. Schrader died March 11, 1943 in Philadelphia. Certificate 22389 gives birth October 23, 1858 at Sadsburyville; parents Adam Judson Reese and Louisa Kendig; husband Henry F. Schrader. Informant Henry Schrader’s relationship is not stated. Burial is recorded March 14, 1943 at Westminster (reading).

Evidence qualification: The compiled Maggie Reese has October 23, 1859 and husband Henry Shroder, married December 10, 1879. The original certificate supports death contemporaneously but birth and parents retrospectively. Keep the 1858/1859 and Schrader/Shroder variations.

Family connection assessment: The certificate explicitly identifies both parents and husband; do not equate the informant automatically with the husband.

Next research: Find the original 1879 marriage and baptism; check burial in the cemetery register.
