Sorry, no. Only two sources are given. One is the subject's personal web site and it says nothing of the sort that I can find. The other is the biography that she provided to her university, and all it cites is 'ancestry.com' for the claim, which not a reliable source for anything. So, not independent and not reliable. We don't just repeat anything anyone says about themselves on their own web pages (or those under their control). WP:ABOUTSELF says such material can only be used if it is not self-serving, which this is, if it is not an exceptional claim, which this is, if there is no question of its authenticity, which there is about this. Wikipedia does not exist to propagate the vanity of article subjects. Agricolae (talk) 01:39, 6 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
