Talk:Julia Christiansen Hoffman

Two problematic details
Sources used in writing this article are inconsistent on two details:
 * Her maiden name: Christianson or Christiansen
 * These sources use Christianson:


 * 1) Oregon Encyclopedia (see entries by Sarah Munro for Margery Hoffman Smith; and Portland Art Museum School)
 * 2) Oregon Companion: an Historical Gazetteer of the Useful, the Curious, the Arcane
 * 3) "Timberline Textiles" in Handwoven Magazine - Infinite Healing
 * These sources use Christiansen:


 * 1) Portland Art Museum (in the archive of her photos, see "Grandma Christiansen")
 * 2) Maryhill Museum of Art, entry for Julia Christiansen Hoffman
 * 3) Historic Resources Inventory, City of Portland
 * 4) National Register of Historic Places, Nomination form. See section on Lee Hoffman, builder.
 * 5) Oregon Historical Quarterly, Vols. 36-37, pages 115, 404


 * Her birthplace: Gunnison, Utah; or Manti, Utah
 * Most sources list Gunnison as her birthplace.
 * However, while seeking documents on Ancestry.com on her maiden name, I came across her passporrt application, dated August 12, 1912, in which she listed "Manti, Utah" as her birthplace. So the choice is either list Manti, violating WP:NOR, or list Gunnison, which is southwest of Manti, but in the same county in Utah.

Thus, I landed on Christiansen and Manti. Maybe I should try to be more Zen about these dilemmas. Cheers! — Grand&#39;mere Eugene (talk) 07:34, 15 December 2016 (UTC)
