Date of birth, year 1929 or 1943?

edit

"George Ancona (born December 4, 1929)[citation needed]". His Mexican-immigrant parents met in 1927 which fits 1929 reasonably. The German national library gives DOB 1929.[1]

The first published of his 110 books (multiple editions of some) in LC Catalog is Faces by Barbara Brenner (Dutton, 1970); his own writing, Bodies (Dutton, 1973). That US national library gives DOB September 20, 1943, citing ECIP data for Mis Amigos (2004).[2]

The German library does not catalogue any books by Ancona but the two libraries seem to have the same person. {{Authority control|VIAF=216489407|GND=174175736}} {{Authority control|VIAF=85718081 |LCCN=n/78/051709}}

A "Library of Congress" website lists his Date of birth as December 19, 1929 BUT they listed Wikipedia as a source?! https://lccn.loc.gov/n78051709 Level C (talk) 17:50, 7 October 2016 (UTC)Reply
