Very good points Tim! That's pretty funny abt your own marriage record being wrong, but you do know that no matter what ANY document says your wife is the leading authority on this! :>) I'd just like to add something that everyone probably already knows. We all use the saying "it's not written in stone". Well even if it is it isn't. Tombstones are often wrong. The info is only as accurate as the memory of the person giving the info, often a bereaved relative who might not have really known the exact birthdate anyway.
