Talk:Vernon Dvorak

Date of birth is needed.

No information on Dvorak's death
I cannot find any information on Mr. Dvorak's death other than a couple of tweets and this Wikipedia page. I added a [citation needed] to the remark in the last sentence regarding the date of his death. Giant Speck (talk) 02:33, 21 September 2022 (UTC)

He was born in 1928. I cannot fathom why it keeps being changed to 1922. I’m his daughter in law and can assure you he was born 11/15/28 PinkParabola (talk) 02:30, 23 September 2022 (UTC)

Official references for date of birth needed
None of the 3 date of birth references given confirm 1928 or are official : the first (https://www.google.co.uk/books/edition/Technical_Publication_PMR/XrwpAQAAIAAJ?hl=en&gbpv=1&pg=RA5-SA10-PA5) is just a refence to an article of Dvorak, the second and third cannot be consulted.

 * A family member should know the birthdate and birth-year and be able to make distinctions between people of similar age and name. Wrong persons can be ruled out through contradictiions:
 * Find a Grave, database and images (https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/117651232/vernon-bernard-dvorak: accessed 26 September 2022), memorial page for Dr Vernon Bernard Dvorak (7 Jul 1921–30 Mar 2006), Find a Grave Memorial ID 117651232, citing Windridge Memorial Park and Nature Sanctuary, Cary, McHenry County, Illinois, USA; Maintained by Kathy (contributor 47737776).
 * This man died in 2006, so it cannot be the person in the article.
 * Likewise,
 * "BillionGraves Index," database, FamilySearch ( https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:Q2QP-1VSP : 28 July 2016), Vernon E Dvorak, died 20 Jan 2013; citing BillionGraves ( http://www.billiongraves.com : 2012), Burial at Sacred Heart Cemetery, Walker, Linn, Iowa, United States.
 * This man was born in 1933 or so, but he died the wrong year to fit the article. He can be ruled out.
 * "United States Public Records, 1970-2009", database, FamilySearch ( https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:QJ67-286C : 31 May 2020), Vernon G Dvorak, 1995-2008.
 * Birth Date 1 Sep 1938
 * To young to fit the biography in the text.
 * Now here is a birth record consistent with what a person identifying herself as a relative offers:

 * Trust, but verify. Only rarely do family members have any reason to misrepresent the birth-date of a deceased person, but an official record -- especially a birth certificate -- may be impossible to fabricate credibly. There is no reason for falsification or misrepresentation. I do genealogy as a hobby, and the while there are lapses of memory and occasional misrepresentations, birth records offer no incentive for misrepresentation or fabrication.
