WHERE CAN I FIND FREE DEATH RECORDS?
my boyfriends mom died about, 10 years ago in San antonio Texas. and when i look for an obituary or death record it wont show up anything. but when i people search her it brings her up. what is a good website where i could possibly read details… or just see an obituary or something. thank you
You won’t find her death record on line, for privacy’s sake.
You might find her obituary in the library, in old newspapers on microfilm.
About one find-a-grave entry in 20 has an obituary attached; you could try it.
http://www.findagrave.com
If you don’t live close enough to San Antonio to visit the library, you can send them a small check ($5 ought to do it) and a SASE and they will either send it to you or return your check.
You can probably find her exact death date here:

Unless someone has posted the information online, you will only get it by purchasing her death certificate.
You might try any of the genealogy sites. Some of them require a paid membership, but most have forums so you might find someone with a membership who can try looking it up for you.
You might also try http://www.familysearch.org/
However, since it’s only been 10 years, you may very likely not find the information posted online. You might also try http://ssdi.rootsweb.ancestry.com/ which is the social security death index.
