Per note from Donna in 1998: “Interestingly, later in life when Rollie (Roland ) obtained his birth certificate it said he was a twin. This was a surprise to everyone and since Gene's parents were deceased no one will ever know the details of that.” In the 1900 census, Emma Mousseau is shown to have had only one child, one still living. Rollie is not shown as a twin in the entry for his birth in the Minnesota Births and Christenings database in FamilySearch. Never married.
