Ssshhhh. Don't point out the government's shortcomings so that they have a reason to further make it "our" responsibility to catch +their+ mistakes at our expense. If it were easier to give a federal employee his walking papers, there would be fewer inaccuracies. I have a birth certificate for an ancestor who was born Jan 17, according to the family Bible. According to birth certificate (printed in 1998), he was born Jan 47. Yes, I am sure it is a typo, but for $32.50 for the copy I expected dead on accuracy. So I agree, don't let the death certificate have the final word, if possible. If I can, I refute death certificates with two other sources.

The death certificate may be fairly accurate but it too can be wrong. My father died on January 10 but his death certificate says January 11. -snip- Legacy User Group Etiquette guidelines can be found at: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp To find past messages, please go to our searchable archives at: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup%40mail.millenniacorp.com/ To unsubscribe please visit: http://www.legacyfamilytree.com/LegacyLists.asp
