Death, Burial, Cemetery & Obituaries
Death certificates represent one of the key primary sources for family information, typically being issued within days of a death and having many details about a persons' life. Frequently, they contain age, birthplace, parents' names and birthplaces and the cause of death. <br><br> An important fact, which can often be overlooked, is the name of the funeral home listed on the document, a place that often has records themselves that can supplement the death records. The name of the informant who provided the information included on the death certificate can also provide a clue to locating new relatives.
