Yes, I found the original manuscripts revealing that El Dupree was not an only child, as had been believed since Sparnchik put forth that theory in 1947. Much research is now focused on whether or not there are other siblings, but due to the tendency toward inbreeding displayed by most of El Dupree's known ancestors it is not likely that any other siblings would have survived, much less admitted that they were in the family. Embarrassment is a strong motivator.
