Reading notes
Things to be careful about
- The decedent's name is typed as "Gorden F. Ponceby"; linked to Gordon Francis Ponceby because the date, spouse, parents, residence, and existing Ohio death index all align.
- The mother's maiden name is typed as "Catherine McKayhorne"; linked to Catherine Mackie Horne but flagged because other repo records variously use McKay, Horne, or Horn.
- The certificate gives birthplace only as Canada, while existing naturalization records give Alberta or Edmonton, Alberta.
- A Social Security number is visible on the certificate but was not normalized into this source record.
