Event Notes Note (1) Death record reports death date as Nov 28 1914. But obituary specifies Friday, Nov 27 1914, a date which did fall on a Friday. Note (2) Birth date given in 1900 Census as Jun 1870, but birth record shows it as Jun 4 1871. He was not in the 1870 Census, his parents not marrying until Oct 1870, and he was age 9 in the 1880 Census. Note (3) Birthplace given in marriage record as Wetzel County. Note (4) Birth date in his birth record is Feb 26 1880, in marginal conflict with the confirmed July 1879 birth date of his brother Joseph. The 1900 Census shows his birth as Feb 1881, age 19, and age 21 at the time of his March 1902 marriage also put it in about 1881. The birth record on file is a one-line entry in a typed ledger. The entries, being typed and grouped somewhat alpabetically, were apparently transcribed from the original handwritten records. As similar errors have been found in this set of records in the past, it is likely that a transcription error was made, including the possibility that the year-of-birth column should have been labeled 1881 rather than 1880. http://www.wvculture.org/vrr/va_view.aspx?Id=2600842&Type=Birth Note (5) Birth date given in 1900 Census as Dec 1894, but birth record and death record show it as Dec 24 1893. Her name appeared as Frankie in her birth other records, and as Franca in her marriage, death and other records.Name Index
