What would be the source for the date of birth information on the California Death Registry? Is it simply word from family members or based on some kind of passport or other documentation. I am hoping the attached baptism is my grandfather, but some dates are causing me grief.
After searching extensively for my grandfathers baptism based on a 15 Aug 1905 date of birth as recorded in the California Death registry in 1940, I finally found what I believe to be his baptism, but the date of birth is 20 Dec 1904. since I didn't know where he was born, I think I searched from 15 Aug to the end of the year for many of the parishes in the entire central island group starting with Ribeirinha since I knew he lived there once. Now if find that one more click to get me to the first baptism of 1905 after finishing 1904 and I would have found this a year ago. The baptism is at http://culturacores.azores.gov.pt/biblioteca_digital/TER-AH-RIBEIRINHA-B-1900-1911/TER-AH-RIBEIRINHA-B-1900-1911_item1/P228.html Pasted below is the California death registry information from Familysearch.org I also note the mother's name is listed as Dejesus, but his mother in the baptism is Maria da Esperança.
