Talk:Henry Reuterdahl

Birth date
He was born August 12 1870 according to sources added to Swedish Wikipedia. Edaen (talk) 21:07, 9 July 2013 (UTC)
 * Sources vary, it appears. This Google Books search turns up both August 12 and 30 dates in sources that would be considered reliable. — howcheng  {chat} 23:44, 9 July 2013 (UTC)
 * I checked the birth record for Sankt Petri parish in Malmö. His record is in a page for 1870, not 1871.Edaen (talk) 05:53, 10 July 2013 (UTC)
 * Does the record have the actual date in it? I would say that's the most authoritative. — howcheng  {chat} 17:04, 10 July 2013 (UTC)

 * His parents announced his birth in the papers. I don't think there is any room for doubt about the real date. Edaen (talk) 07:09, 11 July 2013 (UTC)
