## Source regions needing clarification

- IMG_9375.jpg: 1523–1528 Swiss Brethren microcaption stack. Several words are only a few original pixels high. Named positions in the Nikolsburg disputation and part of Grebel/Zwingli caption remain unresolved; visible names/dates only are recorded.
- IMG_9375.jpg: Under early Swiss/Hutterite lines around 1564–1600. Ausbund wording and Golden Age range remain lower-confidence pixel readings; verify against a clearer original before using as exact quotation or corrected date.
- IMG_9376.jpg / IMG_9377.jpg: 1660s–1720s Swiss/Pennsylvania microcaptions. Count’s name, William Penn visit year, some persecution dates, and parts of migration ranges are too small/soft. No historical-memory completion was used.
- IMG_9377.jpg / IMG_9378.jpg: Christian Funk split and Swiss-Amish Galicia/Volhynia movement. Readable subjects are retained but date/rationale wording is not fully legible. Larger branch labels are documented separately in the named-branch inventory.
- IMG_9378.jpg / IMG_9379.jpg: Dense 1850–1900 lower-line annotations. Some conference formation notes and tiny German periodical titles are too blurred to transcribe fully; they are flagged where a subject is legible. This inventory does not certify all microtext as recovered.
- IMG_9379.jpg / IMG_9380.jpg: Bottom Hutterite and Swiss small captions; 1920 Bruderhof note. Text clipped or too small in some places; partial readable names preserved, no guessed name expansion. Large branch labels and main leader lines are documented in their own inventory sections.
- IMG_9376.jpg / IMG_9377.jpg / IMG_9378.jpg: USA/Canada maps. States/provinces are geographic outlines with numeric labels, not printed names; no inferred place/date mapping. Large USA/Canada headings obscure some labels.
- All six images: Yellow World Events and Church Events borders. Explicit surrounding context, not direct central Anabaptist branch annotations. Borders visually inspected for scope only and intentionally not exhaustively transcribed.

## Evidence still invited

- Indigenous and local church participants in mission histories: Source panels identify regions, peoples, agencies, and some sending missionaries. They do not name many local believers; no names or local accounts are invented.
