• Notes

  Note: Alfreda's daughter Jeanette says she was named after her father's first wife, Alphreda! She never knew the correct spelling of her name until she had to order a copy of her birth certificate one day. It came back saying her name was spelled Alphreda and from then on she used that spelling for official purposes, but kept the spelling she was used to for informal day-to-day purposes. [1]
