Question:

Ancestry.com Minnesota Death Index vs. Social Security Death Index?

Ancestry.com lists both a Minnesota and Social Security Death Index as a match for one of my lesser known relatives. Problem is the Social Security lists as Michigan in the county most of my relatives are from. They are the same birth date, same month and year of death. Minnesota has the middle inital and the correct mother's maiden name. I think the might be the same. Could this person have died in Minnesota but relatives filed the Social Security forms in Michigan? Any way to confirm these might be the same person? Thanks.

The SSN was actually issued in Illinois. I'm not confusing the place of birth as it is on neither index. I figure the Social Security Index is filed in Michigan due to relatives. What I need is a way to cross check and insure these are talking about the same person.
