Alta Mae's birth year of 1933 was determined at death, likely by her husband. The 1940 U.S. Census recorded her age at 4 years old, determined by her parent, which would say is more accurate. It's difficult to mistake a 4-year-old for a 7-year-old, but easy for a husband to forget his wife's birthday. I will be requesting a copy of her birth certificate to verify.
