Was there anything on the Death record that showed the parents? Might not have been on the certified copy but on the records. Some times all that does not get on a certified copy? In 1920 there would have been and Indiana death records. The form has a place for parents names and I have even seen parents birth location on some.

Hi, I want to reply on the death records and certified copy. What is the difference? And is the death records kept in a different location than the death certificate? I have always been told if you can find the funeral records, it will have the same information on it that would be on the death certificate, because that is where the information comes from to make the death certificate. Which is what the informant gave to the funeral home at that time of the deceased and not always is it right.

Hi! I know that each state (and county) provides different info, but I haven't found any differences in "certified" death certificates vs non-certified types (except that I usually have to pay more $$ for the "certified" copy). I have collected hundreds of death certificates, obits, and death notices on my family members that I am researching. Any good genealogist will tell you NOT to put too much faith into info provided on a death certificate. The problem with death certificates, obits, etc. is that info is provided by a "relative" or in a lot of cases, a hospital employee or nursing home official. Other than the cause of death (provided by the physician) and the place of burial, a lot of info is not very reliable. For example: Info for my great-grandfather's DC was completed by his oldest son. His date of birth was incorrect, his place of birth was only listed as Denmark and his parents' names were a "?". My uncle didn't even know his father's occupation. I requested funeral records for my great-grandfather, and it included the obituary form for submission to their local newspaper and a copy of the DC, all with the same incorrect info. The obit didn't even list my gr-grandfather's first wife (my great-grandmother, and the MOTHER of the person providing the info!) This is one of the reason's why it is important to gather as MUCH evidence of a fact (birth, death, etc) before accepting it as "final".
