I’ve attempted to justify that to myself as those who had those date problems 1) were either illiterate or 2) didn’t see the importance of the date. I’ve seen naturalization papers for a few of my uncles that have said “don’t remember” where the form had asked for immigration date. I have to realize that even on their manifests, it was noted sometimes the person was unable to read or write so it’s likely that those dates were never written down by themselves and they had trusted those who may have cause to record those dates (parish priests, civil officials, etc.)
