Place names and jurisdictional language are key evidence: both can reveal earlier catalogue descriptions and overlooked record series. The source revision retrieved here is dated May 30, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q1895911. Authority coordinates are 45.196, -94.072. 1 of 2 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank.
