Death Records Now

I am not sure if anyone knows the answer to this. My father died in the state of California in 2004, and my sister and live in Pennsylvania. He hadn’t been in contact with us for years, before he got sick very quickly and died. My sister and I had no relationship with the controlling woman he was married to. Any questions asked her were not answered, and we let it go. We have since learned the wife has dementia. Not sure where she is. My sister and I are trying to find out if my father had a will or whats happening to the property out there? We have heard just recently through friends of my fathers out there, that the property is deteriorating and no ones been around the house for awhile. I would like to know what is public record out there and can I find it online? Such as property tax. if the house is paid off. Up for sheriff sale? Or if he had a will. Our father was cremated and my sister I know his ashes are there somewhere in the house. If nothing else we would like to at least get his ashes,and bring them home, but before we would go out there, we want to make sure the house isn’t getting sold for back taxes. We don’t know who his lawyer was and we are basically stuck trying to find out information. Any help someone could give me as to guide me in the right direction would be appreciated. I was able to at least get his death certificate, but that’s about all.

If your father had a will and it was probated then it is public record. Call the probate court in the county in which your dad lives and ask if there was an estate opened under his name. Also, if you have the address of the property you can get a title company to check for a nominal fee to see if the property is in your dad’s name still. If it is, and there has been no estate opened, and you cannot find a will, then his next of kin are entitled to the property.

Had a weird dream so I went online to look up an old friend. Discovered that he died in 2004.

I would like to find out what happened….

Not interested in making contact with the family.

Is there any way I can find out cause of death via public records? If so, how do I go about it?

See if the local newspaper (where he died) has an olline archive search, you may be able to read either a news story (if an accident) or an obit that gives more details.
If you have the actual date he passed you might be able to search town records – but would almost certainly have to do that in person.

My mother-in-law misinformed the funeral home by stating on my husband’s death certificate that we was divorced. We are not on the best of terms and she refuses to go to the funeral home and sign a request to amend the death certificate. She is doing this out of spite because my husband and I were separated (he was a violent and abusive alcoholic). and he was living with her at the time of his death. I am sorry, but my son’s safety was my #1 priority. It was not a healthy environment for either my son or myself.

I was just contacted by the Motion Picture Industry Pension and Insurance Dept. that they are holding money that I am entitled to claim as his surviving spouse. Unfortunately, I need to get the death certificate amended to reflect that we were married at the time of his death. The Office of Vital Records suggested that I contact the court and request a certified copy of a court order establishing our marital status at the time of my husband’s death. It also said that I may want to contact an attorney. Unfortunately, I am a disabled widow on SSI and can’t afford to pay an attorney for advice. I’m sure that once I know where to go and what to do that I can fill out and file the necessary documents.

Please help me with as much information as possible to enable me to complete this task without the need for a lawyer. I live in Porterville, California and need to know which court to contact to accomplish this task.

Thanking you in advance for your most valuable time and assistance.

Believe it or not, this place is pure evil. you can sense it in this house. your neck hair stands up. I’ve seen things and heard things. I’m just curious, because it would be nice to prove to people that something bad has happened here. thanks.

I take it that you live in an old house… Death certificates are public record in the United States, but the data may not be in computer search-able format so it may require a manual search. Contact the local vital statistics office and ask. A police or sheriff’s officer may know or be able to help you too.

I have already contacted the records clerk in Hill County, Texas that handles the birth, death & marriage certificates, but she said she doesn’t know who to contact. Any suggestions?
Update – I don’t need to know where they are buried or dates – I have pictures of their graves. My questions are pertaining to the data on the stones – discrepancies to other records on same people. If there is such a thing as a cemetery office, I can’t find a number or a address

If you’re looking for information related to their burial, doesn’t the cemetery office have the information you’re seeking?

Sorry for the delayed reply .. let me see what I can find out and I’ll write again in a few minutes (it’s Friday, 5:00PM in Chicago)

Okay, here’s a website with a list of the names of those buried there. The website also has a phone number for info on plot availability and an email address of the person who assembled the list of names. Sounds like the email addy may be useful to you.

It’s a small cemetery that may have begun as a family burial place. So you’re right that there’s no office.

I hope there’s something helpful here…

The thing about phone books and address books is that they never truly contain the information that you need, at the time you need it the most. Take for example when you are hunting down a good dentist whose name you can very well remember, but whose address still remains a mystery to you. Or, if you are planning to have a grand reunion for your batch mates, no phone book or address book could give information about all your former classmates and friends.

Apart from these, there are plenty of other reasons for you to have to look for a person’s address. Such as in serious cases where another person has violated your right and has done you harm, and you would want to learn where you could find him.

There could also be a time wherein you really have to contact a long lost friend for a reason that is of a matter of life and death.

It is for these reasons that you have to learn about how you could use an address finder to your own advantage.

Basically, an address finder does what its name would suggest. Based on what you know about a person or an entity, an address finder can provide you its address as well as contact information. By searching through public records, you can search for any person or entity you have in mind and find where they are located in no time at all.

The internet has made searching for addresses easier. You can just type in the keywords in an address finder, which can include partial names of the person you are looking for. The problem with address finder facilities available today is that some are not complete and their database is still lacking in some areas. What you can do is to find a public records service that will truly serve your needs.

With an address finder, you will no longer have to worry about confidentiality issues and how much it is going to cost you. There are websites that offer free service, but you have to make sure that what you choose is reliable.

This kind of service is not only limited to physical locations. You can also search for email addresses of persons or entities that you would like to contact. Some people also use such feature to hide their addresses in case they do not want anyone looking for them to find a way to contact them.

However, when you have gone after a public records service that is just simply, not worth all your efforts, you might think that the service could not live up to its name. So if you really are that determined to find out someone’s address, you have to take your time to find a good public records service that could meet your expectations and provide you with what you need. An address finder could only do good for you when you at least try to find and avoid dealing with bogus public records service providers.

I know the name and birth year and death year…im not sure whether they are buried in New York or in New Jersey…but i might visit so i need to know where to pay my respects….how can i find out where some1 is buried,and which cemetary?who would i need to get in contact with?

They might be on www.findagrave.com

http://www.tedpack.org/obit.html has four ways to find an obituary, with links. Obits almost always say where the person is buried.

If you find him on
http://ssdi.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/ssdi.cgi
you may get the exact death date.

It would be slow and costly to get a death certificate, but you may have to.

If you post what you know, here or in a new post, someone may be able to help. Ancestry has digitized millions of newspaper pages, including obits.

To Whom It May Concern:

Being a veteran of the World’s greatest military, as many of you are I would expect you to hold integrity to yourself when hearing my story.

On or about the month of December 2004 I was hired on by the Missouri Department of Corrections at Moberly Correctional Center . While I was there I came in contact with a female employee whom I befriended. On or about March 2005 she and I left with our group to attend the training academy in Jefferson City, while there I made some decisions that did not hold up to my character. On several occasions during after duty hours I consumed alcohol with this particular female. However approximately the third week of training the last one of these occasions occurred with the end result of me being accused of sexual assault and terminated from my employment due to her allegations. The Department of Corrections states that I was terminated for bad conduct for consuming alcohol and being late for class (1day late due to illness & the only other day was the day after the alleged allegation). When I was terminated I appealed this decision because I felt I was being discriminated against however my appeal was denied. Given the facts this other female Individual was consuming alcohol just as often as I was and that she was late to class as often as I, their decision was to allow her to keep her employment but terminate mine. I am under the impression that they believe I actually committed these accusations therefore terminating me for sexual assault, if they were to honestly terminate me for bad conduct for the consumption of alcohol they would have terminated this female individual as well. Regardless of what the Department of Corrections may have in their records they were aware of her actions while in the training academy. I have a letter signed by the Macon County Victims Advocate dated February 7, 2007 which states quote “ I made several telephone calls to law enforcement in Jefferson City and was told upon investigation the overall feeling was that Ms. XXXX made the accusation in order to keep from getting in trouble with her employer for drinking while in training and having relations with a fellow correction officer” this letter also states “ Ms. XXXX had a history of making false allegations in Macon County ”. I have attached this letter.

After this incident I filed with the Equal Employment Opportunity but did not follow through due to family emergencies and I had also contacted the State Reps., State Senate, Director of State, the Division Director of Department of Corrections and Superintendant of Moberly Correctional Center their decisions stood final. I also seeked counsel from an attorney in Macon County who wanted much more than I could afford being a single father with 2 children at that time. It wasn’t until recently that I applied for a position as a law enforcement officer with the Travis County Sheriffs Department in Austin , Texas and found that because of the mark on my employment record I would not be able to obtain the position I was longing for. My criminal record is clean, I have many accredited hours in Criminal Justice, I am only being held back from doing what I want to, do due to false accusations from an unbalanced young lady. I am coming forward to all of you in the hopes of clearing my employment record.

As giving my all but death to this country as a 6 year veteran with an Honorable Discharge from the Navy, and currently on active duty with the California Air National Guard, I do believe I deserve better than this. I have been respectful to my Commander in Chief, to the State of Missouri and have always maintained honesty and integrity. I would only hope after reading this story you too would uphold your integrity and ask yourself, does this young man deserve such a tainted mark upon his employment record? If you honestly do not think so what could you do, given the office and position that you hold? Thank You for your time.

Very Respectfully,

Joshua S. Yount

Senior Airman United States Air Force

Dear Mr. Yount:

Thank you for contacting Lt. Governor Kinder’s office concerning your employment with the Department of Corrections. We will do our best to be of service to you.

In response to your request for assistance, I contacted the Department of Corrections. We have asked that your situation be reviewed at the state level and that you receive every consideration allowed to you under the law.

The Department should contact you soon. If you have additional questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to call our office at (573) 751-4727.

Sincerely,
Bill Fix
Assistant Director of Communications
Lieutenant Governor Peter Kinder

Try the links below and watch the online movie presentations. This can be used nationwide and in Canada. If you have any questions, please contact me. I hope this helps.

Although it is quite sad to think about, there are indeed people who we lost contact with. And after years of not seeing them, you may now start to think whether he is still alive or had taken his rest already. If you are young then you will not bother to think this way but as you grow old, this is a reality that you need to face.

So where are they now? The sad thing about life is the fact that these people who you may not heard about are now dead hence you need to be prepared about this possibility in case you are going to search for them.

Finding the real condition of someone may be easy if you have people to contact, who may also know such person’s whereabouts. However, this maybe tough since even families may have the chance of being separated with one another so there is a big chance that the person who you inquire to is not aware about the real whereabouts of that someone who you are looking for.

Now, in case something is telling you deep within that something is not right then you can search for information on government record offices that always prove to be an invaluable source of data although they would only give you a little hint of the information that you are after. Now in case you can’t really locate the person then it is about time to search on death records.

Public death records have been around for quite some time now since it started early 1990s. Back then, people would barely declare the death of someone however these days, death record proves to have a great value. Until now, these records are free of charge although it is not really cost-free on the side of the government department that gave the service.

Be reminded though that your option to search these records is not only limited to government agencies since you can in fact search for such data on many private sources. If you would go on government agencies then you can have the data you are up to by requesting it by mail, fax, telephone, or in-person. A lot of states nowadays would also carry an online option wherein someone can inquire the status of a person through the use of the internet. On the other hand, private providers may differ in the manner on how they would retrieve their records. A lot of them however are tied to primary products or services that are quite suspicious in nature.

Actually, people should not rule out all online death records information sites since there are many of them that would provide credible result after all. The task is; you just have to look for that sites that would give you valuable information. For you to do this, you can start by looking at the different reviews that were given by people who already tried the service. Once you do, it won’t be hard for you to locate a website that really works.

I am in charge of research and testing for an online consumer website (www.CompleteReviews.net). I have spent the last three months testing public record sites. At first I wondered why anyone would want to pay to access "public" records. Well, that is because of how hard it can be to get to them.

For marriage or death records, I would assume you would start with the county where the marriage or death was recorded. In most states, that responsibility falls under county government. You could start by searching the counties website (assuming they have one). The more modern ones are putting their records online. If that does not pan out, then you can contact the county records department and see what procedure they require. Usually you have to fill out request forms and in many cases there is a small processing fee (5-10 bucks).

Another option is to actually utilize a marriage or death record search site. These companies create massive databases of public information (up to 3-4 billion records) and store it in a single location so that you can easily search for the records you need. They even pay to access some records that, while public, are not accessible like cell phone records or unlisted phone numbers. If you want to go that route, the only sites I can recommend are the ones that passed our testing requirements. You can find them at http://www.completereviews.net under the categories of Marriage Records or Public Records. The cost is somewhere between $15 and $25 but it saves you a bunch of time and you get instant results.

Happy hunting!
