Research notes edit

  • Was Silberman
  • An unexplained note in the source roster: Dan Gross's research spreadsheet (DEMOGRAPHICS.csv, row 16965) has N. C1195 in the middle-name field. The same row's certificate number is 9617 (alias Silberman, note Was Silberman), so C1195 is not that certificate; its meaning is not stated.
