NOTE - I can not figure out just who the sibling to Stanley Sivin would be. Was he a very young brother of Mary, Alivin's wife or was there some other kind of relationship such as a half brother? The birth location of each's mother is different, one is Canada and the other is Pennsylvania. (Brian L. Lightfoot)
