Dollarhide has a great article on the GenealogyBlog [Leland
& Patty Meitzler] which talks about the ten places to look
for a death record. As stated “All ten sources should be obtained for every
ancestor on your pedigree chart, and every member of a family on your family
group sheet.”
As you read
the article, do pay attention to the “rules” ... not only did they give great
advice, they were quite fun to read! For example
Dollarhide’s rule No. 2: When visiting a funeral home, wear old clothes, no make-up, and look
like you have about a week to live – the funeral director will give you
anything you ask for if he thinks you may be a customer soon.
Are there
other places where you look for death records?
If so, please share!
