Information about Ella Harper
Thanks for the information you added to Ella Harper. I noticed you cited Ancestry.com, but after some searching, I can't find any support on Ancestry.com for the information you added. Could you clarify exactly how I can find it, please? —Granger (talk · contribs) 17:39, 21 October 2014 (UTC)


 * Hmm, after more searching, I've found a record of a 1905 marriage between Ella Harper and Robert Savel(e)y. But how can you be sure that this is the same Ella Harper discussed in the article? Ancestry.com lists a few other Ella Harpers who were married at around the same time in Tennessee, including one also in Sumner County in 1895. —Granger (talk · contribs) 17:48, 21 October 2014 (UTC)


 * Aha! One of the secondary sources in the article mentions the same 1905 marriage certificate and 1921 death certificate, but says that it's not clear whether they refer to the same Ella Harper. I'll edit the article to reflect this. —Granger (talk · contribs) 17:51, 21 October 2014 (UTC)
