Remember the Circumstances

Information for any record can be provided under less than ideal circumstances. Death certificates contain information than can easily be given at a time when the informant is tired, distracted, and even slightly confused about who their mother-in-law's mother was or where the deceased's father was born.

Keep this in mind if the informant gave "unknown" or a location that is really off.
