In addition to the deceased's name and date of death, the records contain the following information: "Where the reported place of birth is different from the local county, the place of birth is stated. Name spelling variations have been preserved. Where possible, the cause of death is quoted as it appears in the record. Parenthetical entries following parents' names indicate the reported place of the parents' birth. Parenthetical entries following the informant's name indicate place of residence."
