Records & Research

Lynn Paulson was born 17 February 1921, child of Raeburn Iver Paulson (1893-1970) and Esther Eunice Bills (1895-1990) — this matches the trusted family report anchors. Beyond that, the original dossier's substantive new claims (a death on 18 February 1921, male sex, and two named siblings) all trace to a SINGLE cited page on newenglandballproject.com that the researcher admits was never actually loaded. On audit, that domain does not resolve in DNS (SERVFAIL from multiple independent resolvers; the page cannot be retrieved and likely does not exist), so it cannot serve as a verifiable record. Those claims are therefore downgraded to unconfirmed rather than confirmed/likely. The only independently reproducible result is a negative: no Find A Grave memorial exists for a Lynn Paulson who died in 1921 in Michigan. Net: birth matches the anchor; the asserted infant-death narrative is unsupported by any retrievable source.

No Find A Grave burial memorial exists for a Lynn Paulson who died in 1921 in Michigan.

Open questions (6)

AUDIT: The sole source for every substantive new claim (death 1921-02-18, male sex, two named siblings) is https://www.newenglandballproject.com/g2/p2201.htm. On audit this domain does NOT resolve in DNS — nslookup/dig/host all return SERVFAIL from 1.1.1.1, 8.8.8.8 and the local resolver, while control domains (findagrave.com) resolve normally. The original researcher also never loaded the page ('content was read only via the WebSearch index'). A page on a non-resolving domain is not a verifiable record; the asserted wording was never actually seen. All claims depending on it have been downgraded to unconfirmed and the death addition removed.
REMOVED death finding: 'Died 18 February 1921, one day after birth.' Unsupported by any retrievable source; needs an independent Michigan 1921 vital record, burial record, or newspaper notice before it can be added to this person.
REMOVED sex finding: 'Lynn Paulson was male (son).' Trace solely to the unretrievable phantom page; the report's sex: null stands. The given name Lynn was used for both sexes in this era, so sex remains genuinely unknown.
REMOVED siblings finding: Clifford Raeburn Paulson and Donald Howard Paulson with specific dates/places (Flint MI, Hagerstown MD, Mansfield OH). These are about other people, not Lynn, and trace solely to the unretrievable phantom page; none could be cross-checked. They do not belong in Lynn's verified dossier without an independent source.
Lynn Paulson's birth place and death place remain entirely unconfirmed. No citable, retrievable source states either.
Open: locate Lynn Paulson in an independent, retrievable record — Michigan birth/death index 1867-1921, a FamilySearch tree backed by a source image, or a census — to establish whether Lynn survived infancy and to confirm sex and places. None was found in this audit.
