sdsu.edu, Married and Partnered People in Jonestown,

We also recognize that there were numerous gay relationships in Jonestown. After consulting with numerous survivors, we did not feel we would serve any purpose by revealing any relationships which a currently-surviving relative might not know about. For that reason, we list only one – that of Deanna Wilkinson and Loretta Cordell – that was well known. This is a decision of respect, not of denial.

The House Foreign Affairs Committee report was released in May 1979. Its full title is The Assassination of Representative Leo J. Ryan and the Jonestown, Guyana Tragedy. The Randolph list is a list prepared by surviving Temple member Jim Randolph (December 12, 1978) as a means to identify bodies, establish family groups, and notify next-of-kin of the Jonestown dead. FBI document 89-4286-1302 (prepared 12/78) is an uncatalogued stack of documents which the FBI released to Fielding M. McGehee III and Rebecca Moore pursuant to a lawsuit against the Department of Justice (2002).

PT occupation record consists principally of a record created by an unknown author in Jonestown in September 1977, after the mass migration was complete. The record comes from the FBI from an earlier release under FOIA to Rebecca Moore, and is now part of the Moore Family Papers at the California Historical Society (MS 3802, Baker Research Library). 

The LJ memo is a memorandum written by Laura Johnston in summer 1977. The record comes from the FBI from an earlier release under FOIA to Rebecca Moore, and is now part of the Moore Family Papers
