Legacy transcription retained without substantive editing; rendered current reference profile variants documented in the Phase 10 evidence snapshot.
The current source documents alias Kauffman, Charles F.; the alias data remains attached to the same controlled identity. The current historical action-place wording replaces only the controlled canonical geocoder field; the complete inherited place remains preserved.
