Alvina Green is listed as a child of Charlotte, however Charlotte passed less than three months after the birth of Eva at the age of 27.. What is the basis for attributing Alvina Green as a child to Moses and Chartlotte?

Dear Michael

I am not sure I understand the reason for your doubts about Alvina Green's parentage.The basis is the same as for the other children of Moses and Charlotte: the information provided by other genealogical sites (MyHeritage, WikiTree, Ancestry...). Initially, I did not include her date of birth because I did not know it, but it did not seem to me that, because of timeline, Alvina could not be the daughter of Moses and Charlotte. In fact, between Casander and Basil (41 months), as well as between Basil and Eva (54 months), there is enough time for Alvina to have had a "normal" birth (the result of a 9-month pregnancy period). Even Charlotte could have been a younger mother than Casander's date of birth might suggest.

However, after receiving your message, I have carried out additional research on the Internet and found that WikiTree provides 'abt. 1854' as birthdate for Alvina. As I see it, this matches the timeline and provides a more definite answer to your question. https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Green-17708

Best regards,

Dear Jose,
Thank you for your prompt response, and for clarifying my confusion. I'm not even certain now of the basis of my confusion, but for some reason I believed Alvina was born AFTER Eva, however it's clear she was actually 2nd oldest of Charlotte's children with Moses.

Kind Regards,
Mike Park
