The index lists Christina Tauber's mother as Elizebeth Janousek, so it confirms the name exists in this family context. It says nothing about when or where Elizabeth was born, so the claimed birth about 1887 in Illinois is not supported by this record. Also, if Christina was an adult at death in 1920, an Elizabeth born in 1887 would be implausibly young to be her mother, so the age of Christina should be checked.
Matches: Index names a mother Elizebeth Janousek (spelling variant of Elizabeth), matching the person's name; Illinois deaths index places the daughter's death in Illinois, compatible with a family living there
Limits: Index entry only, no image attached; Entry is the death of Christina Tauber in 1920; it gives no birth date or birthplace for Elizabeth Janousek; The mother's birth year (about 1887) and birth in Illinois are not stated; a mother born in 1887 would be a very young mother for a child dying in 1920 only if the child was an adult, and the child's age is not given here; Citation only names the mother, so it does not show she is the same Elizabeth Janousek (1887–1949)
