Klaus, Terry, The Family Alwood errata, (Publication location: Sacramento CA, T.K., MCMXCII), pg. 167a.

My guess is Walker is Gilberta's maiden name & Moore is her name by another marriage. I am using that hypothesis is my naming. - D.A. Navorska - ii Apr MCMXCVII - Irving TX

Gilberta may have one or two middle names. Who knows, it is possible her maiden name is Carlton, 1st marriage name is Walker, 2nd marriage name is Moore, 3rd marriage name is Alwood. - possible.
