But also remember that a lot of the information on a death certificate is only that which is known to the informant ........ thus much of it may be wrong. Many people were not (and are not!) accurate in what they tell their spouses,offspring or other such people.

The information that is sure to be correct:-

date of death
cause of death
place of death
name and relationship of informant
name of doctor


The information that may not be absolutely correct includes:-

name of deceased
age of deceased
marital status of deceased
occupation of deceased

Researching:
My brother, photo taken in September 1991 just a couple of weeks before he died. ............................................................ To help us and to get better results, please post as much detail as you can, especially name, date(s) and place. Also say what you already know.
