I’ve not seen one of these before. The death occurred 01 Oct 1907. It was filed 23 June 1934. I’ve seen plenty of delayed birth certificates but not this. I guess the family needed a death certificate for some reason. What is really interesting is that this death certificate is VERY filled out. I guess since they had 27 years to think about the answers to the questions they knew the full names of both parents and their exact birth places ☺ Michele The Transitional Genealogists List was created to provide a supportive environment for genealogists to learn best practices as they transition to professional level work.

82 years?

The problem with this one is that I had already seen three other death certs and none of them matched the info we needed for "this" woman. The delayed cert 82 years later did "match" the info needed to make it look like the same woman. This was an oil mineral rights case. The family went to the county clerk and submitted sworn statements. None of them were alive when she died! I did not accept that death certificate or any of the other three!! best regards, Dee ----- Original Message ----- From: "Michele Lewis" <ancestoring@gmail.com> To: "Dee Dee King, Certified Genealogist" <king@forensicgenealogyservices.com>, "TGF Mailing List" <transitional-genealogists-forum@rootsweb.com> Sent: Monday, October 1, 2012 5:52:07 PM Subject: RE: [TGF] a delayed death certificate 82 years?
