You may now enter additional information given such as the something the doctor may have
reported on the death certificate - or a place where the burial was if other than Barry County.
DO NOT USE UPPER CASE WORDS FOR SURNAMES in the research note as text.
Example:
Not HADDOCK - use Haddock.
A note at the bottom can explain when facts seem to be incorrect
or added information.
Examples Below:
Research Note: Bob's stone reads that he was born in 1846 not 1848 as the death certificate reads.
His age at death that is given on the death certificate would make the 1846 date the correct one.
Research Note: Bob
joined the military forces in Connecticut and served there but came to
Barry County at the end of the war. He is buried in Newton County, MO,
but lived most of his life in Barry County on Capps Creek.
