Searched for: His father's profile read for its children list, L1YQ-HDW (Roderick Byanton Cooper) - run while sweeping Grover C. Cooper Grover C. Cooper, to see whether the tree knew a ninth child. (link)
Result: IT KNOWS HIM TWICE. L1YQ-HDW lists eight children by Rosetta C. Sickles, and two of them are this man: Warren Edgar Cooper 1872-1938 (9NY6-3XM) and Warren E. Cooper 1875- (LR4B-497), sitting consecutively in the children list. The other six are Ida Elizabeth 1862-1940 (LR45-9W1) = Ida Elizabeth (Cooper) Masters, Sarah Matilda 1865-1944 (LR4B-4BN) = Sarah Matilda (Cooper) Kinney, James W 1868 (LR4B-HD4) = James W. Cooper, Margaret Luella 1870-1935 (KGJ5-BKG) = Margaret Luella (Cooper) Kinney, Albert Alvin 1878-1949 (GWTY-3K9) = Albert Alvin Cooper and Alfred M (L1YQ-FVJ) = Alfred L. Cooper. A duplicate pair of this shape is itself a finding about the birth-year problem. This file already records five readings of his birth year; the tree holds two of them as two different people, which is how a date disagreement becomes a split identity in a shared tree. It is recorded rather than merged - see t-fs. The profile also shows no marriage event for his parents, although [C.62] gives 5 April 1862.

Searched for: NOT a fresh all-collections name search - the 2026-10-03 one below stands. This is the suggested-records sweep the CLAUDE.md rule requires on every Ancestry record opened. Three record pages were opened and their panels worked: the 1898 marriage index row (collection 61376 record 415237, the GROOM's row, opened because the BRIDE's row 900415237 was already in hand and a return names both parties' parents); the SSA Applications and Claims Index row it suggested (collection 60901 record 644424581); and the 1910 federal census it suggested (collection 7884 record 16759355). (link)
Result: THE GROOM'S INDEX ROW CARRIES NO PARENTS EITHER - name, gender, marriage date, place, spouse and film number 004211081, and nothing else. The collection's own description says these returns "may include ... parents' names", so the parents are on the RETURN and were simply not indexed. The reel is image-restricted - see
films/film.4211081.yaml, where the padlocked FamilySearch browse and the absence of any Ancestry image path are written down, with two ways to get at it. THE PANEL, HOWEVER, PAID TWICE: it produced the 1910 census (now [D.875], the first non-index-tier census this file has) and the SSA row that named his daughter under a surname this catalog had never seen.findagrave 2026-10-03 · Warren Cooper, b. 1872 +/- 2, d. 1938 +/- 1, New Jersey (8 matches).
