Death Records Now

There are different reasons why people search for death records but one of the most common reasons is for genealogy. Death records can play a very important role in genealogy because they can tell you a great deal about the living ancestors. You can learn about the other family members of the deceased such as parents, spouse and children. In many cases, you can also learn more about extended family members or you can trace the death records through of one person to another, matching the family tree.

Certified copies of death records have been around for a long time now. While records have been kept for many years, they are now considered a legal document while also being a public record, meaning anyone can access what is contained within.

There is important information found within the death record that can help with genealogy but the most important information is that of the other relatives. You can look up full and complete history for a family by checking the death records. This is also a great way to verify that people really did live and die where they said they did and that they lived how they were said to have lived.

If you want to trace your family’s roots or build a family tree, an online death records database will be an important tool in helping you do this. Since you will probably need to search through multiple records, it will make the process faster, more affordable and easier. Just be prepared for some of the snags that might come along the way.

There are some problems that can come into play when searching for death records for someone. For example, depending on the period of time you are searching for, women are sometimes harder to locate records for. This is because during some times and locations, death records were only kept of men. Women were considered to be property of the men and those men were not required by law to keep records of their vital history on the women. This means that if a woman died, her husband was not required to document this death legally.

But the problems extend further than just women. There are some men that you might have trouble locating records for, again depending on the period of time in history and the situation. If you run across a problem, you can often fill in the gaps with other family member death records or with school records, prison records, military records and more.

Tracing your family tree is a big job and not one to be taken lightly but there are now many tools out there that make it easier than ever before. Why not take advantage of these tools such as using the Internet to trace your death records? It’s fast and easy and can help you search for multiple records all in the ease and comfort of your own home. While no one said that making your family tree would be easy, it is certainly a rewarding experience when you have completed.

Genealogy researchers are some of the people that seek access to many different kinds of public records in a regular basis since these legal documents contain a lot of details that could be useful as they conduct their research and as they do their best to fill in the blank spaces that are in their pedigree chart.

Public records, especially those that are categorized under vital records (such as the birth records, marriage records, death records, and divorce records) are some of the most frequently used records by these genealogists since they contain a lot of details that are very helpful for going further in their research such as the full legal name of a person, the birth date, the place where a certain person was born, the name of the parents along with the name of the siblings, if there are any. In addition, these public records also contain some information like the name of the person’s spouse, the place where the marriage took place and much, much more.  

In short, that means that getting one public record alone will help any family history researcher to get more details and more clues about who to search the next time around. For example, if you will be able to get the birth record of you grandfather, you will be able to get a lot of significant names, places and dates in that record alone and that could be useful for helping you find more details bout your great grandparents too. 

Doing genealogy (or family history, as it is commonly called) is really an easy thing to do if you could access these public records. Especially since there are already a lot of online public records provider in our times, any person from all walks of life can indeed conduct these researches without going through a lot of difficulties like how it was in the past.

Several years ago, genealogy was a dreaded activity for most people since it involved going to different offices, searching details from public libraries, visiting cemeteries, writing far-flung relatives, traveling far places and a whole lot more. 

These days, you could simply stay at home and do your search in your most convenient time.  Besides, most public records are just a click away so completing your genealogy isn’t as hard as it used to be anymore.

wall with a darn ad selling peoplesearch crap. I know there has to be some way to access public death records by city, county, name, birthday, or SOMEWAY without having to pay someone. PLEEEEASE HEEELP!!!!!

I can help, but what is needed, is a reality check.
First.. an obituary is NOT a public record, nor is it free. It is a paid announcement in a newspaper. Many persons don’t have obits (their families choose not to place one). Many newspapers choose to not be online.
A death certificate is defined as a public record.. which does NOT mean that there are no restrictions on those. Many states LIMIT access to the death certificates to immediate family, or do not allow them to be accessed for 50-75 yrs. Death certificates are controlled by the state vital records offices. When thinking in terms of county based records.. nothing anywhere is an obligation that they be online.
If you go to www.rootsweb.com, you WILL find that they offer (free) the social security death index. What it is, is VERY specific.. it is an index ONLY, and it only covers deaths in the US since about 1960ish. Earlier records do exist for ssi.. they simply are not computerized.
If you are researching family history, this is important to remember. The internet is a massive collection of information. It does NOT have everything you might want. Ancestry.com does have many records that you will not find elsewhere, for the simple reason that they are in business to sell service. Meaning access to certain records that are not otherwise available. You might find them free by going in person (which may mean across the country), so the service is completely legitimate.

when i go to the sites that say it is free to view public records, it always asks for a credit card number. The link will say its free but its not. Is there any where on here that it is actually free to search AND view public records….death, birth, marriage…….any help will be appreciated… thanks

The LDS church does NOT maintain records of living persons.. they have a huge collection of historical records. There are also many different definitions of what a public record might be (marriage? credit? death?). ALL of these things will be independent and located in different places, with different rules of accessibility.
If you are wanting to research your ancestry.. the best thing to learn is how to be explicit in terms of what it is that you want. A death record for a person who died in 1988 in Michigan can be completely different from a marriage record from the 1870s in Alabama.
A general rule is that records relating to living persons are going to normally have restrictions. You may find marriage records (current) at the courthouse locally.. a birth record for a baby in the last century (broadly speaking) will only be accessible to the parents or person concerned. The law will be different for various states.. different counties will have varying records posted (free) on a www.usgenweb.com site.
Almost everything you do in genealogy will involve looking at the INDIVIDUAL person, defining the locality and time frame, then going for the SPECIFIC piece of information that you want.

I ordered my parents’ marriage records, but my order cannot be processed unless I provide a New York State order. My parents are deceased, I don’t believe I have such records.– does this apply to me? What do I do? Can I send their certified death certificates?

This should be public record. You can do a "people search" or hire a PI. It costs between $10 and $30. There should be no documents required.

This is long…but worth it. In fact, this is so good, I might repeat this twice!

Exit poles had Reagan behind by 8 to 10 points and he won. Exit poles had Gore ahead by 8 to 10 points and he lost. Exit poles had Kerry ahead by 8 to 10 points and he lost.

We now have Obama destined to lose as it is being estimated that the exit poles will show Obama 6 to 10 points ahead of McCain!

Don’t let nobody fool you, the exit poles are a very reliable source to determine the outcome of an ongoing presidential election. There was an error percentage rate of only 3%.

On December 13, 2004, at a United States House Judiciary Committee field hearing in Columbus, Ohio, computer programer Clinton Eugene Curtis testified that in Florida, the year 2000, he wrote a computer prototype for Republican Congressmen Tom Feeney of the 24th District that would rig an election by flipping the vote fifty-one forty-nine!

In 2004, the exit poles (The International Gold Standard) showed that Kerry was winning fifty-one to Bush’s forty-eight. The official results showed Bush winning fifty-one to Kerry’s forty-eight point five!

Raymond Lemmy was to give Curtis pertinent information regarding who was at the root of the voter fraud. He was later found dead in a Georgia hotel room. Cause of death: suicide.

Police said they don’t have photos of the suicide scene but later photos have surfaced showing blunt trauma and can be seen in a documentary called "Murder Spies & Voting Lies" by Earthworks Films by Patty Sharaf. More da@&%! liberals.

Police produced a receipt that shows when Lenny checked out of the hotel. Research shows that if you commit suicide in a hotel, YOU DON’T CHECK OUT!

Clinton Eugene Curtis was given a polygraph test and was found to be truthful in all of his responses (Saint Petersburg Times). No need to debate me on this, it’s a matter of public record – all the details are here- look them up.

Late in the evening of voting during the 2004 election, 6 states showed that the exit poles favored Kerry, the results suddenly veered off to Bush! (Matter of record)

In Ohio’s 2004 election, Ward 1 Precinct 8, only 638 ballots were cast on election day. Bush received over 4,000 of those votes! Do the math. (Matter of record)

In Cleveland where 83% of the voters were for Kerry, 23.93% of all the voters were purged. (Predominantly Democratic region)

In Warren County, Ohio locked down the location where the votes were being counted and didn’t allow any witnesses or news media inside claiming that it was ordered by Homeland Security. The next day Homeland Security said they knew of no such order.

Ohio’s Secretary of State’s computer server, that reports the voting status, was moved during the night to severs located in Chattanooga , Tennessee, to a company called Smartech Corp which houses GOP servers including the National Republican Committee and Carl Rowe’s infamous email accounts! (Matter of Record)

In Delaware County there was a last minute surge of 359 mythical voters who showed up and voted for Bush. How many church buses does it take to bring 359 voters to the pole all at the last minute? I’m not making this stuff up!

The Yang Corporation which manufacture voting machines had Republican Congressmen Tom Feeney on their payroll! (Matter or record)

I’ve run out of time…

ps: Did Acorn kill anybody yet?

FOLKS !!! DON’T FORGET TO ANSWER THE QUESTION !!!!!
PEOPLE WHO MISS THE POINT…

…GO BACK TO SLEEP !!!

This entire administration has gotten away with far to much starting with the elections. I still believe that a proper investigation concerning both 2000 & 04 need to be had. This is in part why the congress has little regard in the polls as far as I am concerned. We thought the democrats would bring justice back into the system when elected back to control congress. They haven’t tried. This is why we need more than ever a multi party system. The clowns in Washington need to be replaced nearly all of them. When we begin to vote multi party we will get choices. Until then we will get flip sides of the same coin.

1.Hospital records showing his birth in Hawaii
2. Mother (allegedly dead) death certificate showing who survivors are.
3, Funeral home records showing who attended mother’s funeral, who paid for it and when it occured and where.
4. Mother probate estate records showing who heirs are.
4. Brothers and sisters names, addresses and their birth certificates showing parentage and their information re Obama
5. Father’s name and address,. and if dead, his death certificate.
6, High school records of Obama showing who parents were said to be
7. Immigration records of alleged father of Obama
8. Law school application, showing who his parents are, where and when he was born, which HE WOULD HAVE WRITTEN HIMSELF
FIND TRUTH

I understand the need for answers. However some of these things aren’t going to actually serve any real purpose. Some of it is already obtainable on line.

1.) Although, I understand the confusion, as Obama was supposedly born in Queens hospital before he was born in Kapi’olani Hospital. This is why people want to see a registration of birth (not a live birth certificate).

2) His mother’s death certificate should be public information. She was born 11-29-42 died,7-11-95 age 52, in Honolulu. Her SS# was 535-40-8522

3) The funeral home records wouldn’t be public record.

4) Again Probate records are public information

4) You can find basic information on his 7 step brothers and sisters, on his father’s side, born to four different women. (Their addresses are not, nor should they be public information). There is also another step-sister from his mother and you can find her on line.
.
5) Father’s name: Barack Hussein Obama. Good luck on a death certificate – he died in a DUI in Kenya 20+ years ago!

6) He refuses to OK the release of these – probably because, according to his friends he was a B- student, not a genius.

7) Immigration records – good luck with that – he didn’t immigrate. He was here on a Student Visa in the 60’s.

8.) He refuses to release this or any college or university records!

The reality, which is hardly paranoia, Bob, is as follows:

Are all those Kenyans lying about our President? Shame on them. His grandmother says she was there at the Coast hospital in Mombosa when he was born. The Ambassador for Kenya, Peter Ogego, admitted that Obamadrama was born in Kenya and he plans to have a monument erected in his honor. Reverend Kweli Shuhubia has signed an affidavit stating that "it is common knowledge throughout the Christian and Muslim communities in Kenya that Barack Hussein Obama, Jr., the United States Presidential candidate, was born in Mombosa Kenya." The affidavit is basically regarding participating in a telephone interview that was done between a U.S. Minister and Sarah Obama, the grandmother. Many Kenyan Obama family members were present during this interview – and it was all recorded (http://www.thecommentary.net/obamas-grandmother-says-he-was-born-in-kenya/)

Hey, zaphod73! There is a difference between a "certificate of live birth"(what the Obamamaniacs are touting as a birth certificate) and a "registration of birth" (http://www.orlytaitzesq.com/obama-certified-copy-of-registration-of-birth-in-kenya.htm). The first, anyone can get even if they weren’t born there – it’s been done several times in Hawaii, since this issue came up. The second has all of the details of the birth and is submitted very shortly after the birth. Don’t act so superior unless you have some idea about what you are talking about. Obama is a liar and a loser – Deal with that! And if you believe you have a right to privacy, other than in your own home – you are truly uneducated.

To the morons out there, who believe that Osamabama has some particular right to privacy you aren’t too bright. All presidents release this type of personal information. He is the first that hasn’t. Bush and Kerry released their information, as did Clinton and others. Usually there is no need to ask, it is just done.

Therefore, when The One absolutely refuses to release pertinent information, it makes one wonder what is he hiding? If he is so intelligent, such a genius, why won’t he release his college/university transcripts? You think he’d be so proud of all those A’s and would be setting a good example for those little children. Why would he spend millions to fight court action requesting his registration of birth? It only costs about five bucks – don’t you wonder why?

BTW, interrob, to answer your moronic question "Why doesn’t John McCain release his "allegedly dead" mom’s death certificate?" She’s not allegedly dead! She is alive and well – and he proved it by bringing her on the campaign trail. Not to mention, she was a guest on Leno a few months ago. DUH! Perhaps you should educate yourself a bit more before you comment on things about which you know nothing

The entire issue of Obama proving where he was born has nothing to do with Democrats or Republicans – it has to do with the Constitution of the United States, Article II Section I, paragraph 4: "No person except a natural born citizen, or a citizen of the United States, at the time of the adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the office of President; neither shall any person be eligible to that office who shall not have attained to the age of thirty five years, and been fourteen Years a resident within the United States." So, he needs to prove he is eligible. It’s the law!

To RU Quazee: lots of that stuff is available online – and some is very questionable, as well. Copy of school registration in Indonesia, selective service registration – very questionable, can be found here: http://www.theobamafile.com

I was born in new york and the courts sealed my records, but i know my mothers name and just cant find anything. Didnt think that dead people had privacy rights. If anyone cant help please contact me. Look for family so that my kids can know there family.

I believe death certificates are public record. You would need to go to the county in which she lived and go to the records department…usually listed in the phone book under government offices. As for info on death certificate…usually just the basics like the person’s name, date of birth, residence, date and approx. time of death, cause of death, and the medical examiner verified the death and/or performed the autopsy.

For example, I am trying to locate a childhood friend here in California whom I haven’t seen in almost 20 years. I went to a couple of those online "people finding" sites…and sure enough, they say they can provide me with all kinds of current information about her…marriage, divorce, death, etc. etc. For a large fee they can they can provide all kinds of information "from the public record". But yet, when I go to the county records office and try to obtain the exact same information…I am denied access because this information is only given to "immediate family members."

This perplexes me. Can anyone explain this?

Official town and city hall records can be quite difficult to obtain. But the newspaper information (Births, obituaries, marriages, etc.) can be found by anyone willing to sift through it.

I been trying to find out more about my father, but cant seem to find anything. I tried all kinds of places on computer, always wants to charge. Thats fine, but I am on workers comp, and not been payed yet. so it limits me on the buying part. If thier is anyone that could help me, I will be so greatfull. I been trying to find about him since I was 10, and now I am 36. His name was Stirley C Davis, in Harris County ,Channelview Tx. He died in 1975 to 1978. His spouse name was Maria C Gonzalez Davis. He died of an heart attack, but one thing that puzzle me is. He had his named changed prior to marrying my mother. All I can get that his birth place was in California but, what was his real name, and who was he? Two children he had at his death were Jose Luis Gonzalez Davis, and Anna Bertha Gonzalez Davis. One clue the day he died, the police question my mothet about his death, due to a head injury he had. So if anyone could find out, I be so greatfull.

My only suggestion to resolve this matter for "free" is to go down to your local library. They should have all of the newspapers on microfilche or microfilm and from there you could begin searching for your fathers death notice or any info that was published. Once you figure the exact date and time then you can attempt to contact your local city hall or county clerks office and request the death certificate. It is all part of public record. If there were any criminal charges you can also check with the court system in your area and they will guide you in the right direction.
