Family Chart Notes
Clicking individual names under the Parent's/Children's column transfers to that individual's Family Chart. Many later records indicate a year of birth was 1897 for Herbert A. Jordan. There were no Illinois Birth Records until 1916 but it is believed that his year of birth was 1898 based on 3 records close to his year of birth. These include the 1900 and the 1910 Census, and Margaret Jordan's Nov 9, 1911 Bill of Complaint against husband James Oscar Jordan. Margaret Jane Graham’s April 20, 1939 Petition for Naturalization and Permanent Residency indicates 1898. It is believed that at the time of his marriage, Herbert A. Jordan switched to a year of birth of 1897 in orde to make himself one year older. Meanwhile his wife Elizabeth Pajewski (Page) made herself 3 years younger (1895 to 1898) so that she would be younger than him.
