Does anyone have any experience on how accurate the dates are on the SSI Death Index? and especially so when the Index just shows a month and a year?
I found someone I need to research in the Index with a date of death of August 1963. I went to the appropriate newspaper for where I think she died and there was no obit in the entire month. I tried the last few days of July and the first few of September as well. I am wondering if I shoud go through all of July now?
Short of a typo how wide can the gap between death and SSI's records be? I found one person in the Index that is reported to have died June 15th and I know >from the obit she died June 8th. That's a few days -- could it be wider such as a month?
Anyone who has experience on the variance would be greatly appreciated.
