William Miles Woodall

PROOF CLASS: BOTH PARENTS = DIRECT - his 1961 Texas death certificate, read on the image, states father James D. Woodall [3] and mother Texana Miles [4]; K261, reviewed 5 Sep 2026. Reported by his wife [39], so second-hand, not first-person. AUDITED 22 Aug 2026 - PARENTS PROVEN ON HIS 1961 TEXAS DEATH CERTIFICATE, which is an INFORMANT statement by his WIFE and not a record made at his birth. Father 'James D. Woodall' = [3]; mother 'Texana Miles' = [4]. ProofFather=1 ProofMother=1 on ChildTable RecID 23 (F1). THE RECORD. Texas death certificate, date of death 8-4-1961, date of birth 12-25-1885, age 75, birthplace Texas, occupation 'Hotel Manager (ret)'. Item 13 FATHER'S NAME 'James D. Woodall'; item 14 MOTHER'S MAIDEN NAME 'Texana Miles'; item 17 INFORMANT 'Mrs. Sudie Woodall'. Read on the certificate image 22 Aug 2026; captures sources/woodall-ramsay-ring3-2026-08-22/item1-38-wmw-1961-cert-FATHER-col-SSN-excluded.png and item1-38-wmw-1961-cert-MOTHER-INFORMANT-SSN-excluded.png. GRADE. The informant is his wife [39] Sudie Mattie Pace, who was born in 1886 and never met his parents' generation as a child of it. She is reporting her husband's parents, which is a second-hand statement of good but not first-person quality. It is recorded here rather than smoothed away. ⛔ NAME FORM. The certificate writes the mother as 'Texana Miles'; the tree carries [4] as 'Laura Texanna (Teck) Miles'. The tree's fuller form has NOT been overwritten - the certificate is one informant's spelling, and this project records the spread rather than averaging it. SCOPE. This decides a ring-3 link in the Woodall-Ramsay cone (root [64]) and simultaneously puts evidence behind two ring-4 people, [3] and [4]. It says nothing about THEIR parentage.
