Was Magnolia Gordon-Carter a child of Kermit Gordon?
This link is currently carried by living family knowledge. No birth certificate, census entry or death record has been entered into the archive that names Kermit Gordon as her parent. Family knowledge is recorded here as what it is: direct, first-hand, and not yet independently documented.
Partly supports
Follow the evidence trail - Family Tradition
Is Amberly R. Carter-Mills a child of Magnolia Gordon-Carter?
Both people are living and both have recorded consent to be named. The link is known directly within the family and is additionally supported by an Illinois birth certificate that this archive describes but does not publish. The founder receives no evidentiary shortcut: the record has not been obtained, and the link is not presented as documented until it has been.
