I tagged the statement "His nephew is Joseph Juneau who founded the city of Juneau, Alaska." because a quick google search revealed two sources that state Joseph was the son was Solomon and Josette [1] [2] and one source that says he was their nephew.

Relation to Joseph Juneau edit

Latest comment: 12 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

An editor recently deleted the note on the relation between Solomon Juneau and the prospector Joseph Juneau as having "undue weight." Solomon Laurent Juneau (son of François Juneau [1758–1839], grandson of François Juneau [1735–1795]) was the first cousin once removed of Joseph Juneau (son of François Xavier Juneau dit Latulippe [married 1832], grandson of Jean Baptiste Juneau [married 1796], great-grandson of François Juneau [1735-1795]). The men are frequently connected in various studies: Alaska, its history, climate and natural resources (1898), Acadian genealogy exchange (1992), The encyclopedia of Native American biography (1998), Native North American firsts (1998), Je me souviens (2002), Alaska and Yukon Tokens: Private Coins of the Territories (2009), etc. They are occasionally misidentified as father and son or as nephew and uncle because the history of Joseph's family is more obscure and earlier biographers presumably did not have access to as many records. I fail to see why mentioning their relationship, which is frequently cited elsewhere, would be considered "undue weight." Doremo (talk) 09:18, 18 June 2011 (UTC)Reply
