Legacy transcription retained without substantive editing; current rendered profile variants documented in the Phase 10 evidence snapshot.

The inherited candidate set did not include the current Denis Ryan profile. Controlled archival reference search recovered the profile; matching unit, action date, place, and citation establish the identity while all inherited candidates remain preserved. The current reference profile expands or corrects the inherited name from Dennis Ryan to Denis Ryan; both renderings remain preserved. The current historical action-place wording replaces only the controlled canonical geocoder field; the complete inherited place remains preserved.
