Records & Research

No public record could be reliably matched to Lynn Paulson, born 24 August 1902, child of Iver Paulsen (1853-1931) and Maude Irene Wright (1869-1935). Multiple web searches across FindAGrave, FamilySearch, WikiTree, Geni, and BillionGraves using both Paulson/Paulsen spellings, the parents' names and dates, and several locations returned only same-name-different-person candidates, none of which match on the required multiple anchors. Audit confirms all rejected candidates fail on 2+ independent anchors (birth year, name, parents, or spouse), so the nothing-found conclusion is sound. Nothing beyond the 2006 family report could be confirmed.

No additional public records have been confirmed yet — only what the family report records.

Open questions (7)

Lynn Paulson's sex is unknown; 'Lynn' was used for both sexes in this era, and no record was found to resolve it.
No death date, burial place, spouse, or children could be located for Lynn Paulson (b. 1902-08-24).
Birth place is unknown. The parents (Iver Paulsen, a likely Norwegian patronymic surname, and Maude Irene Wright) suggest a Norwegian-American family, possibly in the Upper Midwest (Minnesota/Wisconsin/North/South Dakota), but no record confirms this.
The parents themselves (Iver Paulsen 1853-1931; Maude Irene Wright 1869-1935) could not be located on FindAGrave/FamilySearch with matching dates, which made it impossible to triangulate to a child named Lynn. Locating the parents' graves or census household would be the best next step.
A FamilySearch tree entry 'Iver Paulsen (1860-, Norway)' (ID LX3F-8R2) recurred in searches but was verified to be a DIFFERENT person: birth year 1860 (vs. 1853), parents Paul Hansen and Kari Gudbrandsdr, no spouse Maude Wright and no child Lynn. Rejected on multiple anchors.
Other same-name candidates rejected on multiple anchors: Lynn Paulson (1946-2013) FindAGrave #112475826 (born 44 years too late); Lynn Paulson Adams (1922-1999) FamilySearch L1L8-9GR (wrong birth year); Marlyn I Paulson (1902-1955) FindAGrave #57652266 (matches birth year only, different name, no matching parents); Alan Raisbeck Paulsen (1902-1984) (matches birth year only, different name, no parent match); Maude Miriam Hicks Wright (1869-1930, wife of Frank Lloyd Wright) is a distinct person from Maude Irene Wright (same birth year but different middle name and death year 1930 vs 1935).
Auditor did not expend the single permitted browser fetch: the report makes no positive multi-anchor claim to verify, and every rejected candidate already fails identity on 2+ anchors, so a fetch could not change the nothing-found outcome.
