? date of death – Werner HERTOG – dutch

Thank you for raising this topic. I can understand that you are unsure, because I am too. In many cases, it is not explicitly mentioned whether it is the date of death or the date of „abgesetzt“. To stay true to our golden rule, I would record both dates as deceased. If the second date was used for „abgesetzt“, it would be an interpretation, as the stamp says otherwise. Research in the archives is always helpful, no question, but we should not use the information obtained for interpretation. …

Schönes Wochende euch!
