You may want to contact the local paper for an obituary. You can also look here or request a death certificate from the state.

Are there any reliable for pay records search sites? Will be looking for births,deaths and locations of family?

Question by : Are there any reliable for pay records search sites? Will be looking for births,deaths and locations of family?
Please reply ONLY if you have had SUCCESSFUL experiences with the sites that you are recommending.
Tried a lot of online searching and found a bunch of seedy sounding sites which mostly referred me to the SAME for pay sites which I presume are equally seedy after reading reviews(mostly negative) of their sites and services(incorrect/insufficient information supplied) and am leery of the $ (9.95 one time look up/$ 19.99 yearly specials).
I am prepared to pay a reasonable amount for the supplied services since many of the records could go back a bit.
NOTE:I AM NOT DOING A FAMILY TREE SEARCH and am not interested it tracing my family back to pre biblical times so please do not respond with suggestions directing me to these sites!
I know that I come across as being overly picky-it is just that I would like to do a productive search and not waste any more of my time surfing for a reputable site service provider.
Thanks for responding-Tony Z III (me) ;-}
To clarify what I am looking for:
1 The date of my fathers death
2 The date of my mothers death
3 The locations of any of my still living relatives

I am NOT looking to do a genealogy search!
Is it too much to ask that all answers be from users that have successfully used the service that they are referring and had successful and accurate results.

I hope that I have finally made it clear as to what I am looking for!!!!!
If all you are hoping to do is rate a measly few points to up your Yahoo level with any extraneous answer then please do not reply!

You might get a better response if you were not so negative.
We use findmypast.com and have no complaints at all but we do live in the UK so no doubt you will find fault with that.

Is there any way I can get a death certificate for my grandmother who died sometime in the 60′s or 70′s, in Mi

Question by bware: Is there any way I can get a death certificate for my grandmother who died sometime in the 60′s or 70′s, in Mi
The only information I have is from the 1930 census. Her name was Helen Ware, maiden name Helen Tomco, married to Willie Ware. Had a son Louis Ware. She was born in Penn. Died in Michigan, Wayne county at Eloise Hospital which is now closed. She lived in Detroit, Mi. from 1920 to the time she went to the hospital. I’ve tried getting a death certificate from the Wayne county clerk but you have to have the exact date of death. I don’t know her social security no. and can’t find anything on Ancester.com. other than her on the 1930 census. I would like to have the death certificate so I could find out where she is buried. Would very much appreciate any help.

How do you find the people who died in any given year?

May 15th, 2012 Janet 1 comment

Question by : How do you find the people who died in any given year?
Some people in my family died this year and I was wondering how do you go about search for public death record? Also, do they tell you where they are buried? I do not know the last names of some because they may have changed since I last spoke to them. Is there a way to do a mass search in certain states. I am not in the state they died in however.

This is the social security death index. It is only an index to names, dates, and places for death, which is limited information. It is normally up to date in a few months following a death. That means, if they died last month, it PROBABLY will not show up for a while. Does not mean they did not die.
Yes, you CAN use the advanced search boxes.. you can force it to list all Jones who died in 1993 in Los Angeles. Or in Dallas county in June 2003.
Here is what it will NOT DO.. it won’t help if you don’t have a name of some kind. Yes, it can do a first name search. You still need a time frame and some location (if only the state).
If it brings up 50 persons named Jenny in a certain county.. it is still up to YOU to look at the dates, and figure out if this can be your relative.
Next.. this does not say where they are buried, what they died of, or anything else. You still have to pursue that information. If you have a name and date, you MIGHT check the town for the name of the newspaper, and search for an obituary. This works best in a small town. A death certificate lists the cause of death.. but if you are not immediately related, you normally cannot get that. The obituary can show surviving relatives and maybe place of burial. It should show the name of the mortuary.
Nothing is guaranteed. Your main thing is to break down the process, and look at many things, not expecting it all to be in one location. Some persons don’t even have obits, so that would stop there. You won’t know without looking.

The Hunt For Gollum – LOTR Prequel

May 14th, 2012 Janet 24 comments

Award winning unofficial prequel to The Lord Of The Rings dramatising Aragorn & Gandalf’s long search for Gollum directed by British filmmaker Chris Bouchard. Based faithfully on the appendices of the books this is a non-profit, serious homage to the writing of JRR Tolkien and the films of Peter Jackson. It was shot on locations in England and Snowdonia with a team of over a hundred people working over the Internet. It took two years to make and was released as a non-profit Internet-only video by agreement with Tolkien Enterprizes. This Youtube version is slightly extended with 1 scene added back in. www.thehuntforgollum.com www.ioniafilms.com
