| Deposit | ABWilson determined that there is insufficient information to maintain separate records for each of the former old records and merged them because they all use the same reference. If someone later determines that these are discrete deposits the record can show the multiple locations in the locations table. NOTE: The Fruchey thesis was not available at the time of record consolidation. |
