Note: RESEARCH STANDARD APPLIED Researched by Timothy J. Barron, updated May 8, 2021 Gwendolyn Irene Barron is my paternal great aunt, which is via common ancestry with William Henry Barron and Emily May Jones. Gwendolyn was initially identified in a labeled photograph of the William Henry Barron family. Based on the application of recognized genealogical standards of proof, the descent of Gwendolyn Irene Barron has been sufficiently established beyond any reasonable doubt. The basis for the descent of Gwendolyn begins with the census records, which show her living with her parents. This is followed by her birth record, which lists the names of both parents. This has been subsequently supported via the additional interlocking records and documentation listed below. 1907 BIRTH OF EDWARD EMIL ZOBJECK Researched by Timothy J.
