Question

Does anyone know what  "in entry" means?

The term is used in a death ?certificate? about Rita Kathleen Houser Irwin (Houser-3222) and John Baxter Houser (Houser-416), her father, who I thought died a decade prior to Kathleen passing... is linked with the phrase "in entry" and I don't understand how that can be!

Here's the text it's in:

 "Tennessee Deaths, 1914-1966," database with images, FamilySearch (https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:6JHQ-3FBJ : 3 October 2022), John B Houser in entry for Rita Kathleen Irwin, 13 Nov 1968; Death, Lawrenceburg, Lawrence, Tennessee, United States, Tennessee State Library and Archives, Nashville.</ref> Nov 1968 and this source mentions John B Houser "in entry" for Rita Kathleen Houser Irwin.  What does in entry  mean?

This took place in Tennessee during 1968

thanks for any help with this oddly genealogical question

Answer 1

No expert here, but I believe "in entry" is familysearch speak for "mentioned in a document about someone else." Thus in this case it might be, that the deceased parent was still mentioned in some document about a child marriage or death, for example. Depends on the practice of the makers of the particular document in question whether this is done. Often I've run into death or marriage records in the 19th century (New England or Michigan) in which long-dead parents are recorded.

that is a very probable explanation
