Notes:

1. Information is primarily from census records, gravestones, published records and conversations with Elza Welty; the middle initials are different on some census records and dates of birth sometimes differ by several years; information above is believed to be accurate.

2. Elza Welty is the correct spelling for the person submitting the DNA sample; the name submitted was incorectly listed as Elva Welty. Elza P. Welty also appears in records as Elgy and Elija P. Welty.

3. Clay County, Indiana is the correct place of death for Peter H. Welty; it is adjacent to Sullivan County, Indiana.

Since the information above is from public records I see no reason why it could not be published on the DNA website or passed on to others; earlier conversations with Elza Welty did not indicate any concern on his part about release of this information.

If you have any questions or need further assistance please let me know.

Sincerely,

Dennis Welty
