Tombstone data have the same problem as death certificate data: they depend on the knowledge of the informant, whose knowledge may be very faulty. Death records are usually very accurate for the date and place of death, but are often very inaccurate with regard to date and place of birth. This is especially true with women, who may have begun to lie about their age in mid-life, rendering the informant ignorant of the truth. The rule in genealogy is that you take first-hand information over second-hand information and earlier information over later information. So, despite the inherent problems with census data, I would take an early age in the census over an age on a tombstone -- and a birthdate in a family bible trumps all, *unless* the bible was back-filled by a descendant. Bottom line is, when the data disagree, you have to weigh all the evidence, without dismissing any just because it makes a decision difficult. And, in the end, you may simply have to say, "uncertain," because an error is worse than an unknown. Diana P.S.

Hi Nancy, Didn't you tell me that you had visited the cemetary where your grandfather was buried? If you got dates off the tombstone then I would tend to believe those. Sorta cast in stone you might say. If you didn't visit it-do you know what cemetary and approximate location? Sam

Hi I need info on the following; Martha Hazel Stroup m. George Reeder b. 1901 in PA near or around 1900. I have no date of birth for Martha. Thanks Nancy

I just went thought my files and found a few neglected Straubs that I haven't looked into so if anyone can help with info I would appreciate it; The following Straubs are the children of Benjamin, Jr. and Rebecca Benner Straub. The name is spelled STROUB consistently for this family even on the headstones of Benjamin and Rebecca; **ALL BORN IN HANCOCK COUNTY OHIO*** FLOYD STROUB b. bet. 1873-74 he may be married to GLADYS D ???? but I'm not sure. They are buried next to Benj. Jr.and Rebecca and that's what makes me think I have the right Floyd. DOW M. STRAUB b. 1857 d. 1928 m.Susan ????? GEORGE STRAUB b. 1859 d. 1922 m. Amanda ????? AMERICA STRAUB b. bet. 1860-61 m. Joseph E. Farthing 11/17/1881 DELLA STRAUB b. 2/8/1867 d. 8/16/1904 m. Martin Helck ORRA STRAUB b. bet. 1870-1871 and DAVID STRAUB b. 1866 d. 1934 m. Lovina ???? **I did find a DAVID B. STROUB age 44 in 1910 so the date of birth fits, born in Ohio Wyandot Co., Ohio and I find no records of the family living in this county ???? married to Lovina C 41 b.Ohio and there children are listed as RAY C. 16 b.Ohio LLOYD B. 11 b.Ohio and CARL L. 5 b.Ohio. This is from the 1910 ohio census Miracode index, Ancestry.com. Also I'm still trying to get the right birth year for my Grandfather Frank Straub of Jackson Mi. All records I have, when calculated give different years plus the years don't match the place the family was living in at that time. The death cert. is also questionable. he Social Security number on his Death cert. does not belong to him and no other number can be found in any variation of the number. It is a Jackson MI SS number so for this reason I question any info on it. Can anyone tell me the best way to try and get this figured out? Nancy

OK the only thing that I have found out about this picture are the first names; Joseph(father), Elizabeth(mother) Grandma Beale, Unknown) Lizze(daughter or daughter-in-law) David, Noah, Bousche(spelling might be off) Joe and Frank. As far as I can tell Joseph is my great-grandfather. I also omitted James, another son. It is possible that he was in Penn. and maybe the sons moved out and about. As soon as I get my scanner figured out I can try to send you a copy of the picture. If you have any pictures then you can compare. I know that Noah was killed when he was young and that his wife disappeared from fear that Noah's killer was coming after her too. They had something to do with the mines in MO. I think the name of the town was Navoo, MO. There are all kinds of Stroup headstones in the cemetery there. I was going to try to get down there over the weekend this spring and check it out. Thanks for replying to my query. I was really into trying to find out about everyone but when I ran into a blank, I just sort of backed off. Sue
