Edward Alanson Patrick’s 1938 death certificate
Today, I was planning to describe a strange issue that cropped up when I was looking for Edward Alanson Patrick in census records, but I decided to hold off on that post so that I could show his death certificate first. Of course, examining the death certificate before other documents is the correct genealogical research order. It also makes telling the census story easier.
Among the details shown here are the names of his parents, Alonzo Patrick and Louisa Beard. I will talk about Alonzo and Louisa in my post about the census.
