Are death records public?? And if so, is there a website where you can find them?

I have spent a lot of time researching how to obtain public records on people and discovered there are essentially two ways to do it.

The Free Way –

You will first need some basic information on the person such as their full name and different counties they have lived in. Once you get this data, check out a list of the court houses in the areas the person has lived. The court houses will never give you any information on the phone so you need to go down and request the information in person.

Hopefully you have selected the correct court house which is storing the records you would like to view (sometimes this can be a crapshoot). Some places will only let you look at the records at the court while others will make a copy for free or for a minor fee.

The Other Way –

For folks who do not have the time to act like a private investigator, for a small fee you can access an online data base of public records which stores information on all citizens in all 50 states. While it’s not free, for the amount of time it can actually save you the service is quite a bargain.

The results can be obtained within minutes. The service also offers a full 60 day guarantee, so if you are unhappy you have two months to get a refund.

The service I have used with the most success is Spyspace – http://spyspace.org/

Simply enter their first and last name and get a free instant preview of the results.

    black book on line.com is a good one.
    used to use in collections.
    many times a person would try to use a fake ss number, and we could see that it was a dead person’s ss number.
    try it.
    hope it helps you

    Some records some states.

    Not a lot of organized availability

    Might try the county clerk where you are looking or
    Ancestry.com
