Name:
From an e-mail dated 25 Jun 2008 from Carolyn Wilkinson: "There certainly is confusion on the Jr. etc - Jim's Dad [born 1897] apparently was a Jr. but since his Dad died when he was so young he dropped the Jr. When my Jim was born [1927] he became a Jr. When our son was born Grandpa was still alive so he became JWW III - and of course when our grandson was born he became JWW IV."
James married Carolyn Ann Mickelsen on 27 Jun 1953 in Ft. Shafter Chapel, Honolulu, Hawaii. Carolyn (daughter of Arthur Emil Mickelsen and Carolyn Elizabeth Ray) was born on 28 Jan 1930 in San Antonio, Texas; died on 3 Mar 2023 in Kaneohe, Hawaii. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
