Research Notes

The 1920 census has age as 0 (7/12) and 1930 census has him born in 1920 but the 1940 census has 1916. His school record lists that he was born in 1919. ^[8] His death certificate has Apr 17, 1917. Was his death certificate incorrect? His sister has birth date of Oct 07, 1917, clearly one date is wrong. Bishop-4082 00:03, 26 June 2018 (UTC)
