  • Name Paul Wesley Reeves  [1, 2] 
    Born 11 Dec 1906  Fillmore township, Iowa County, Iowa, USA Find all individuals with events at this location  [1, 2, 3, 4] 
    • Date of Paul's birth from other family members is consistently given as 11 December 1906. Census data is consistent with this, and also with a birthplace of Iowa.

      The Iowa birth record group cited offers a Paul Wesley born on 11 December 1906. The database, however, gives only "Fillmore township" as the birthplace, with no county. A Google search for Fillmore County in Iowa finds one in Iowa County. Additionally, the FHL film no. cited by the record (FHL film no. 988,208) appears in the FHL online catalog as a registry of births for Iowa County, Iowa.

      The record names parents "Whitfield Reeves" and "Minnie Walker."
