Chrissymad. You recently "reverted" my edits to the "Gene Sheldon" page because there wasn't sufficient "sauce." The changes I made reflected my genealogical research on Gene Sheldon and his parents, Earl R. Search and Ada M. Happersett. (I'm a distant cousin to Gene's first wife, Loretta C. Fischer, whose mother's name was Carole "Carrie" Sheldon.) While I provided a reference to the email I received from a Zorro site websitemaster relaying Gene's daughter Tracy Sheldon's validation of the results of my research, I wasn't asked to provide the email itself or additional evidence of the validity of the changes before my changes were reverted. I know that while Gene's father Earl Search used the alias "Earl Hume" for at least 10 or so years from about 1934 to 1942 <1940 US Census; Columbus, Ohio, city directories, 1934, 1935, 1939, 1941, Ancestry.com>, the <"Ohio Births & Christenings Index," Ancestry.com> indicates that on 1 Feb 1908 in Columbus, Ohio, a "Eujene Serch" (sic) was born to "Earl Serch" (sic) and "Ada Happerset" (sic). The date, location, and first names match the "Hume" alias. Also, the ship passenger manifest for the arrival of the "Normandie" in the Port of NYC from Europe on 17 Aug 1936 lists a Eugene Search, born 1 Feb 1908, living in Columbus, Ohio, with the notation, "Known as Gene Sheldon." In addition, the ship manifest for the "Ille de France" for its arrival to NYC from Europe on 4 Feb 1939 lists a Eugene Search, same birthday as above, a Columbus, Ohio, address, and the notation "Known as Gene Sheldon." (Both are from <"New York Passenger Lists," Ancestry.com>.) Tracy Sheldon's validation reads as follows: "....Dad's last name was Search and his mother's maiden name was Happerstat [sic]. Dad got Sheldon off a street sign in Columbus. Tracy."  Are these sufficient references to validate the changes? If not, please let me know what references I need to provide.
