What it says, against the tree
Each fact this record gives, set beside what the FamilySearch tree says: it agrees, it is new (the tree lacks it), it conflicts, or it is context.
| Person | Fact | Document says | Tree says | Assessment |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Emma Woodward Wright Goodrich | Birth | 7 Jun 1856 Sullivan County, New York, USA | 7 June 1856 Brooklyn, Kings, New York, United States | agrees on the date; conflicts on the place: the memorial says Sullivan County, New York, the tree Brooklyn (no source for either; the Gorton genealogy gives the date only). Sullivan County is where her mother's family lived (Gorton 1907), so the memorial's place is plausible but unproven |
| Emma Woodward Wright Goodrich | Death | 12 Aug 1917 Kent, Litchfield County, Connecticut, USA | 12 August 1917 | agrees on the date; new for the place: Kent, Litchfield County, Connecticut (the tree has no place) |
| Emma Woodward Wright Goodrich | Burial | Riverhead Cemetery Riverhead, Suffolk County, New York, USA | Riverhead, Suffolk, New York, United States | agrees, with the cemetery |
| Emma Woodward Wright Goodrich | Parents | Henry J. Wright (1827–1907) and Malissa Gorton Wright (1835–1904), linked | No parents | new; agrees with the Gorton genealogy (Henry Wright and Malissa Gorton) |
| Emma Woodward Wright Goodrich | Marriage | To John O. Goodrich, 4 April 1874, Brooklyn (contributor's text) | 20 Oct 1875, Brooklyn | conflicts: the New York City marriage record gives 4 April 1875 (FS-111); the memorial's year is probably a slip for 1875 |
| Emma Woodward Wright Goodrich | Siblings | Mary Malissa Wright Vail (1854–1924), Louisa Bella Wright (1858–1876), Eleanor "Ella" Wright McDowell (1863–1943), Edward Wright (1865–1929), linked | — | new; agrees with the Gorton genealogy except for Louisa Bella, whom the book omits, and Ellenor's husband (the book: Lewis A. Miller, 1882) |
