Long Family Archive. Edge Sourcing Roadmap (Pass 4)

Phase J of the 2026 audit. The FamilySearch verification (02-fs-verification.json) found that no parent-child edge is sourced at the FamilySearch relationship-conclusion level, every edge is FS-Tree-Only or a gap. This file is the public roadmap for sourcing those edges from records and published genealogies beyond the FamilySearch tree. Edges are upgraded here only when a non-FS source was confirmed at the relationship level; everything else is listed honestly as not-yet-sourced.

Totals (91 FS-Tree-Only edges): 12 sourced (1 prior pass + 10 in the deep pass of 2026-05-30 + 1 in the Hannah Coffin parentage resolution of 2026-05-30), 52 New England edges still to source, 27 disputed royal-chain edges (handled in the basement).

Deep pass (2026-05-30) standard: an edge is upgraded only when a retrieved, non-FamilySearch source states the parent-child relationship and attributes it to a named published genealogy or record (e.g. Austin, Whitman, Arnold's Vital Records, a lineage-society compilation citing a published work). Uncited web/tree compilations (Geni, bare WikiTree assertions, GARDNER_ANNEX) are treated as the same evidentiary class as FS-Tree-Only and do not upgrade an edge; where they were the only support, the finding is recorded in the status note but the edge stays FS-Tree-Only. Sources were surfaced via live profiles (WikiTree, SSWDA) that cite the underlying published works; the citation path is noted on each row. Note: this file is normally generated by audit/build-edge-sourcing.cjs, these hand-applied upgrades must be folded back into that script (or its source data) so a regenerate does not clobber them.

Deep pass. 2026-05-30 (Hannah Coffin parentage resolution)

The conflict flagged on the Hannah Coffin edge (John vs James Coffin) is resolved in favor of James Coffin. Three independent sources name Hannah as the daughter of James Coffin and Mary Severance, and the dates are consistent (James b. 12 Aug 1640, m. Mary Severance 3 Dec 1663; Hannah b. ~1682, m. Benjamin Gardner ~1700-1702, d. 28 Jan 1768, age 86). This supersedes the earlier Hannah Coffin ← John Coffin row in the FS-Tree-Only roadmap below.
