Maybe the informant didn't know the correct info. The info on a death certificate is only as accurate as the informant's knowledge of the deceased. I have found mistakes also.

"Informant on D.C. would be wrong." Oh, how true. I'm happy I knew the facts before I received some of my older D.C.s You;d really think a woman would know her grandmother's first name,but no, Nancy is nowhere near Susan. And a son should know Rhods Island is not really CT.
