Yes, I obtained a copy of her death certificate from NY and it took a few days ... I was very impressed with the service as it takes about 3-months to get a death cert. from Texas Dept. of Health ...

Her death certificate did not give her date of birth, no place of the form for date of birth only asked "age" with line and it listed age 92 ...

Yes, I have a copy of her obituary, again, only gives age as 95 ...

So, there is a conflict on her age ... and the various census, of course, give different ages everytime ...
