  Research Notes:

Concerning Victoria M. (Greenwood) (Mortimer) Wilcox, the Michigan Death
Records from 1971-1996 list her Birthday as 24 May 1872 and Death as 09
August 1973. I am not sure what Birth Date is correct at the moment, as
your site lists her Birthday as 26 May 1872. If you are basing your
information off of a Birth Certificate, I would believe that more, as I
have seen since I started this that people did lie about their Birthdays
and Ages.
