NOTES

I have based the probability of his father's first name on the following Swedish process of passing
of names. Since his fathers first name initial was "B" and Ernest's last name was Benson.
Patronymics (from the Greek pater, meaning, "father," and onoma, for "name") is the process
 of designating a surname based upon the given name of the father, thus consistently changing
the family surname from one generation to the next.
