how come that a man was born 1977 and died 1957 at the age of 25?

Answer 1

The records of two different men were mistakenly combined. Happens all the time in online trees. I've seen a 57 year old mother credited with giving birth to her 7 grandchildren (the last born when she was nearly 70) in Canada in the early 1800s. The guy figured that the parents (Pierre and Genevieve) had to be the parents of all of the children because the parents were listed as Pierre and Genevieve. Forget that their oldest son also married a woman named Genevieve, who was 35 years younger than her mother-in-law. The tree was published in American Genealogist magazine and no one ever challenged it.

Answer 2

.1. In Counter clockworld by Larry Niven
2. A misprint
3. Two different men, but wording is made ambiguous/unclear
4. Note that between 1977 and 1957, there are 20 years, not 25.

Answer 3

That happens every time someone mis-types either a birth year or a death year. I once found I had a ggmother who was born in 1852 and died in 1801. Go figure.

Answer 4

maybe 1957 came first. if so, then 20 and not 25 yrs

Answer 5

Clerical error. Typo. You're going to need another document to find the correct info. Where did this info come from? Look for his obit, birth certificate, death certificate, etc. Typos are very common in genalogy research.

Answer 6

Clearly your documentation is in some way defective. Perhaps you are looking at two different people with the same name.

Answer 7

It was probably a misprint. It could've been that the dates of birth and death were transposed, or the age was misprinted.

Answer 8

Thats impossible.

Answer 9

messed up birth certificate

Answer 10
