Brilliant comment: The closer you get to the birth is the more accurate information by the time you get to the death it's a little bit more shady'. I have a situation like this I that my maternal grandfather thought his date of birth and YEAR was 1919 but the birth certificate gives a completely different date and 1918 which he probably did not know about. Telenovela drama! So I use in my tree the information that was given on the birth certificate.
