I have my 2nd great grandmother’s obituary, and it seems to have some useful information. At the same time, I’m a bit worried that some of the information might not be accurate. For instance, it says she was born on February 11, 1885, in Patoka, Indiana, but on her death certificate it says she was born on February 10, I think, and for her birthplace it just says Indiana. I’m not exactly sure who provided the information for her obituary, but on her death certificate the informant was my 2nd great grandfather

Me and my dad matched this woman the other day but for some reason I share more cM with her than he does. They share 28cM across 2 segments unweighted cM being 45 and I share 40cM across 2 segments with her unweighted being 45. What causes this?

How accurate do you all find military draft cards? I found one for my 2nd great grandfather, and most of the information matches what I already know. The only thing I’m unsure about is his birthplace. The card says he was born in Samson County, Mississippi, but I haven’t found any other records that confirms that. I also asked my great grandpa’s brother, and he said he wasn’t exactly sure where he was born either.
