RLP 351: Separating Women of the Same Name - Two Cleo Zinns


Listen Later

In this episode of Research Like a Pro, Diana and Nicole discuss the challenge of separating women with the same name in genealogical research, specifically focusing on two women named Cleo Zinn. Diana explains how she encountered a mystery DNA match that led her to research Mary Clem Carpenter and her daughter, Cleo. She discovers conflicting information about Cleo, including multiple husbands, death dates, and birthplaces. Diana details how she uses her Airtable research log to analyze sources and build a profile for Cleo Carpenter, starting with census records from 1910 and 1920.

Diana shares how she uncovers the correct identity of Cleo E. Carpenter, who married A.B. Yeager and then Ralph Edward Zinn. She differentiates her from another Cleo Zinn, Cleo Redman, who married Cecil W. Zinn. Diana explains the clues she followed, such as Mary Clem Carpenter's obituary and school records, to solve the mystery. Listeners learn the importance of using a research log, analyzing records, and seeking out various sources like census, marriage, newspapers, and obituaries to separate individuals with the same name. Diana and Nicole also provide tips for correcting online trees and stating reasoning to help other researchers.
