A Wilson Family Tree

Notes for George Domnick Lino



Middle name is from his World War I draft registration card (obtained from Ancestry.com). Maybe it should be Dominick, but it definitely looks like there is only one i. It also gives a physical description: short, medium build, green eyes, dark brown hair. It is dated 5 Jun 1917, and he was working as a postal clerk for Mutual Film Corp. (?) in Salt Lake City, UT, at the time. His birth date is given as 27 Jul 1894, in contradiction to the obituary below. His birth date is also given as July 27 in https://www.ancestry.com/family-tree/person/tree/83283076/person/42479892933/facts , which I believe is by his daughter Colette, so July 27 must be right.
