Richard Alan Paulson was born March 14, 1953, the son of Donald Howard Paulson (1924-1983) and Mary Catherine Dafoe (b. 1932), per the 2006 family report. He appears to be still living. No public, citable genealogical record (FindAGrave, FamilySearch, WikiTree) or obituary/announcement was found that independently confirms or adds to these facts. All same-name records located belong to demonstrably different individuals, rejected on multiple anchors (birth year, death status, and/or spouse/parent details).
No additional public records have been confirmed yet — only what the family report records.
Open questions (6)
- No birthplace is recorded; it could not be determined from public records.
- A FindAGrave memorial and matching funeral-home obituary for a 'Richard Alan Paulson' born Dec 12, 1937 in Estherville, Iowa (married Betty Eckholm; died 2000) is a DIFFERENT person, rejected on birth year (1937 vs 1953), deceased status (our subject is living), and spouse — correctly excluded.
- A 'Donald A/E Paulson (1924-1958)' appearing on FindAGrave and FamilySearch is a DIFFERENT Donald, rejected on death year (1958 vs 1983) and middle initial (A/E vs H) — correctly excluded as the father.
- The mother's maiden surname Dafoe is concentrated in Ontario, Canada (per WikiTree Dafoe genealogy), hinting at possible Canadian maternal roots, but no record ties this to Richard.
- No public record was found for the parents Donald Howard Paulson (1924-1983) or Mary Catherine Dafoe that names a son Richard; an obituary for either parent, if located, could confirm Richard as a surviving child.
