What we still don't know
- Dates, places, occupations and relationships imported from the 1 August 2026 Geni export require verification against original records.
- [CONTROLLED NEGATIVE] Three searches, nothing. No New York City birth for a Howard Jones of 1903–1906 with a mother named Bateman; no child of any Jones–Bateman couple born 1900–1910 in New York; and no marriage of a Howard Jones to a Helen Brown in New York in 1925–1935. He and Anna Bateman still rest on a tree and on nothing else, while their son is well documented from 1904 onward. Jones and Brown are the two commonest surnames in play and searching on them alone will not work; what would work is the son's 1904 birth certificate or his marriage licence, neither of which is indexed.
- [THE NEWSPAPERS CANNOT REACH THIS FAMILY AT ALL] Chronicling America contains no Long Island newspaper. Every hit for Great Neck in it comes from a Manhattan daily, and those stop in 1924–1931 — before almost everything recorded about this family. A search for "Howard Jones" "Great Neck" in New York returned exactly one page, and it is a sports column about Howard Jones the Iowa football coach, brother of Tad Jones of Yale. This is a gap in the corpus, not evidence about the family. The right source is nyshistoricnewspapers.org, which is free and covers Nassau and Suffolk properly — and it is behind a Cloudflare challenge that returns 403 to any script. It works in a browser, and it is the only free newspaper route to this line. See BLOCKED_AND_PAID.md. [NEGATIVE, CONTROLLED]
