Map Montezuma Continuity in Rail-River Sequence
This field note is part of the FOBA learning stream. It is meant to orient readers and point toward better source work.
Key points
- Build separate continuity lanes for rail, river, and institution records.
- Use narrow wording for each lane until multiple record types converge.
- Keep overclaim risk high when records conflict or dates are uncertain.
Next steps
- Pair transport claims with church, cemetery, and court corroboration.
- Use the source table template before public continuity language.
- Escalate unresolved transport/continuity claims to Source Review.
Source trail
- FOBA Montezuma hub – Place anchor for continuity sequence.
- FOBA Source Table Template – Build a structured evidence trail.
