7 hours ago, TylerTheCreator said:An obscure one, but it's come up in some genealogical research and wondering if we can sort it out [and update WP].
Ellie Seagraves is FDR's eldest grandchild - Wikipedia page
Her WP page says "At 97, Seagraves resides with her husband in Maryland."
However, in a 2023 interview Ellie says "I had a great husband" and "we were married for 70 years" [my emphasis] - Interview link
So one might expect her husband, Van H. Seagraves, to have died 2018/9. I can't find any death info though, and it seems like he's presumed alive by most if not all sources.
Any pointers?
According to the My Heritage website, Van Seagraves died in 2012: https://www.myheritage.com/names/van_seagraves
However, there are no obituaries I could find on him. Given his tie to the Roosevelts, it seems unusual that, if he has died, it would go undisclosed. I suspect the MyHeritage information is incorrect. However, if you are that curious, it appears you might be able to contact Mr. Seagraves directly, as he appears to be alive: https://www.familytreenow.com/records/people/id/gsenneloooeplnkeroaor
