Death certificate are usually accurate with regard to the date and place of death, but the
rest of the information may be inaccurate because it depends on the knowledge of the
informant. I discuss this problem on this page at my web site:

The John CARRICO with wife Roxie and son Earl in the 1900 Census of Carroll Co., KY, is
age 36 and has a birth date of May 1864. Whether John is Jesse's son or not (and I
think he is), it's clear that Earl didn't know his father's birth year and
gave an incorrect one on the death certificate.
