[Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Birth:
Her obituary and headstone notes her birth year as 1889 although the Social Security records list it as 1891.
Additionally, there is no birth record with the name Dominica for this couple, however there is a birth record in the Arneguy records on 5/28/1891 for a Jean Etchemendy born to these parents. In the margin in a note "called Dominica", therefore it possible this is the birth record for this individual and was in error. Further research needed to confirm.
