Best to always keep an open mind on information provided on a death registration as it is not verified! :-) I have found some funny errors on some of my family death certs: My Great Great Grandfather was born in London Ontario (Upper Canada at the time). His place of birth is well documented both in family holdings and published works. But his death registration in 1907 reads that he was born in London *England*! I imagine my Great Grandfather who was the informant and know very well where his father was born just said to the doctor that his father was born in "London" and being a 4th generation Canadian himself it never occurred to him that it he needed to clarify that it was Ontario not England! :-) In regards to another Great Grandfather I have a taped interview with one of his daughters and she says he was born in Tennessee. A local Victoria area Council will tell you the same thing if you ask them for the back ground of the person a road in the area is named after. Yet his marriage and birth cert and census records in the US (as a child) read that he was born in North Carolina. He did spent time in Tennessee so I suspect he mentioned it to people more often than North Carolina and assumptions were made. Carol --------------------------------- Goodmorning list - I have a question about the death registration information. Who gives the information regarding ' years in province', date of immigration etc. Does this information all come from the informant?. The reason I'm asking is because I don't think the information given was correct. Is the info verified at all - do they check for the actual immigration dates??. Many thanx for your help................debi ______________________________________________________________________ Post your free ad now! http://personals.yahoo.ca
