In one case it was a gold mine. Instead of listing the deceased mother"s as Elliott (per civil war records) the mother was listed as Manley. It turned out that Manley was a grandmother of the deceased. It opened up another generation for me. So look at the certificates well since although it may seem way out of line, it just may be what you need.

I have found quite a lot of misinformation particularly on deaths of older people. Helping someone some time ago the place of death was listed as North Carolina as given by his second wife. Later a letter from her was found saying she had forgotten at the time that he was born in Maryland and went to North Carolina when three years old.
