    Birth of Albert Boezel (erroneous second report)    		Birth of Albert Boezel (erroneous second report)
    Albert Boezel's birth was reported correctly in 1879 but was for some reason reported again in 1880, giving his birthdate as 28 Mar in both reports. The fact that the second report is erroneous is confirmed by the 1880 census that shows him as 2 3/12 years old (the census was taken 10 Jun 1880, after his second birthday). This is the official full transcript copied from the original county register to send to the State of Michigan. The date recorded is the date that the copy was made. --- Entry #59 - born 28 Mar 1880 - Albert Boesel - male - white - born City of Grand Rapids - parents John & Maggie Boesel residing City of Grand Rapids & born Holland Europe - father's occupation Carpenter - recorded 28 Apr 1881
