I have a problem with a death certificate I recently made a copy of at the MN Historical Society for my great grandfather. The family member who assisted in completing the death certificate I believe gave incorrect information. Maybe one of you has an idea on how I start straightening it out. What can I do now? The name on the certificate is Oscar Elmer Hall and states that he was born in 1893. I know his eldest child was born in 1891 and named Oscar A. Hall (don't know what the A. is for)! To make matters "worse", it states he was born in New Market MN and died single in Farmington. We believe our great grandfather was born in Sweden and immigrated after Oscar A. was born and before their second son was born in September 1895. I find only one Oscar Elmer Hall in the records at the MN Historical Society, so I have to believe this is my great grandfather. Is it possible no death certificate was written? How could a family member get the data so wrong! My great grandparents lived and died in South St. Paul, MN (Dakota County) and her death certificate confirms that. However, it states her spouses' name was Anders O. Hall! The only death certificate I find for an Anders Hall (at the MN Historical Society) states: HALL, ANDERS E. Date of Birth: 09/27/1886 Place of Birth: OUT OF STATE Mother Maiden Name: UNKNOWN Date of Death: 02/05/1969 County of Death: HENNEPIN I am so confused! :) Can anyone guide me? I am new at this. Thank you! Julie "Have faith beyond the explainable"
