Edge-sourcing roadmap (audit/04-edge-sourcing.md). The 2026 FamilySearch verification found that no parent-child edge is sourced at the FamilySearch relationship-conclusion level. This roadmap lists every FS-Tree-Only link still to be sourced from records and published genealogies, with the candidate sources to consult for each family line.
As of the deep edge-sourcing pass (2026-05-30): 12 edges upgraded with confirmed non-FS sources. Westcott post-Stukely descent (6 edges) sourced via Austin's Genealogical Dictionary of RI, Whitman 1932, Arnold's Vital Records of RI, and Edna Lewis/SSWDA. Folger chain Peter to John to Jethro to Jedidah (3 edges) sourced via Vital Records of Nantucket NEHGS, Starbuck's History of Nantucket, and the NHA Barney Genealogical Record. Robinson (1 edge): Isaac, son of Rev. John Robinson, sourced via Sewall's Diary 1702 (primary). Hannah Coffin to James Coffin (1 edge): parentage resolved 2026-05-30 to James (not John) via the Find a Grave memorial for Richard Gardner Jr., Coffinquest Rootsweb, and Geni's Mary Coffin profile. 52 New England edges remain to be sourced; 27 edges belong to the disputed royal chain (preserved as Traditional-Disputed in the basement). Resolved data-integrity item: Hannah Coffin (M7FZ-T6T) parentage (John vs James) resolved to James; see audit/00 resolved findings. Held in the archive's records alongside 00-audit-report.md, 02-fs-verification.json, 03-gateway-crossref.json, 05-coffin-medieval-audit.md, 06-westcott-link-breakdown.md, and 07-17th-century-departures.md.
