Are you saying that you consider some lines on a death certificate to be
different than others? Primary versus secondary? Why?

There is nothing scared about anything on any form,because they were all
filled in by humans. This is in fact, why counties record corrections.

The information provided by a doctor, or in the case of a marriage, of a
minister, is only as accurate as that person's own records and recall.
These people did not always dash to the court house and fill in the
returns the day a person died or was married or born.

My point is, ALL information we find, CAN be wrong. It matters not,
whether we define it as "primary".
