NOTES

It appears that at some point around 1906 to 1910 the family changed it's last name from Becaver to Bishover.

On their daughter Mary's birth certificate the name "Becaver" is marked through for her and her father and changed to "Bishover" and
there is a noterized document stating that the name "Becaver" is in error and that the correct name is "Bishover".

The 1910 census list the family name as "Becaver".


Also have seen some family trees who have mistaken the mother Mary's death certificate for that of her daugher Mary's.


I have seen "Baker" as the mother's maiden name but her death certificate lists John Pukazsc as her father as does daugher's birth certificate.
