 General Notes:
There are several birth registers for Wayne County, Michigan that are "summarized reports of births" which show George's birth date as 17 Aug 1894. However, the main birth register shows his birth date as 17 May 1894.
The 1900 US Census reports "May 1894", his World War II Draft Registration Card upon which he provided a birth date of 17 May 1894, and the Social Security Death Index which shows a birth date of 17 May 1894 which presumably was supplied by George when he first applied.
