Reviewed your tree and you have done well!!! Information on documents can be the source of much confusion. An example is the census record of Benjamin Oliver Downs. You have a pet/nickname "Bing" for him? Methinks that was probably a misinterpretation of census data. "Benj" is an early abbreviation of Benjamin in the same vein as "Chas" abbreviates Charles. Too, review Savannah Downs' death certificate and try to find her parents using that document, only! Mission impossible!
