On my great-grandmother’s 1935 marriage application, her place of birth is given. The problem is that it is different from places listed on other records. Why did she list that location? I’m not certain why and I’m not even certain she actually gave the information. Remember, her husband was there too and it is possible that he gave information on his wife. I wasn’t there when great-grandma got married to witness the giving of the information. The form doesn’t really say WHO provided WHAT. Keep that in mind. ———————————— Check out GenealogyBank’s Offer for Tip of the Day Fans!
Keep in mind that records do get misfiled. Packets of court papers do not get put back in the correct numerical order. Case numbers get written incorrectly in indexes. Page numbers get transcribed as they are typed or entered into an index. It will happen. Think about how something could get misfiled when you cannot find it in the place where it is “supposed” to be. ———————————— Check out GenealogyBank’s Offer for Tip of the Day Fans!
