Also have to watch death certificates - my great grandmother's dc lists her mother-in-law as her mother. Often it's a son-in-law who gives the info and it sure can be wrong.

Also my grandfather started out in life with one name and ended life with another name. <br /><br />Could your Emily have gone by her middle name by any chance? That's a possibility too, especially if there were other Emilys in the family.Cynthia Shenettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07089125778529696076noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34182491.post-21200530433034564302012-01-29T09:26:34.770-05:002012-01-29T09:26:34.770-05:00I ran into something just yesterday along this lin...I ran into something just yesterday along this line. A cousin's stone gave only her name and two dates, but the death date was actually her marriage date. Luckily, there was a larger family stone nearby that gave her correct death date, which wasn't long after her marriage. Could be very confusing!Lisa Wallen Logsdonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13003873811444854964noreply@blogger.com
