Death Records Now

I recently discovered that my father had been married previous to his marriage to my mother to a women named Patricia (Patty) M. Casort. They were married in 1983 and she died shortly afterwards of cancer. All I know is that she was born around 1961 and lived in Colorado up until she met my father, was married in El Paso, TX, and moved with him to Albuquerque, NM, and Los Angeles, California. I have only been able to find the record of their marriage, no birth or death records. I have looked through every genealogy and records website I can find or think of. If you have any information or idea I would be very thankful.

If you cannot find a record of her death, are you absolutely sure she died?
There are 3 Patricia Collins in the SSDI who were born in 1961, but they all died recently.
Can you ask your dad for more info?

His father name was Harold and his mother name was Shirley. Both his parents had kids from previous marriages. He had 2 brothers and 3 sisters from this marriage. All the initials were KEM
He had a sister named Kim and she had a daughter named Kayla who would be about 19 or 20 now. I have already searched in the counties of Whiteside, Lee, Carroll, Ogle, Bureau, Henry, and Rock Island. Ill. No record of his death. He was born on Jan 10, 1958 Died Sept. 21, 2005 He was born in Illinois and spent time in El Paso, Texas. I need to locate where his death certificate is. I have already search thru many obits and the ssdi to no avial. Please help for my daughter’s sake

Many of the SSDI’s on the web are not current. The one below has the reference for the Keith E. Miller you are seeking, so that means that Social Security has his death certificate. In light of this, I recommend that you check with them, and again with Whiteside county.

Also, if you do an *advanced* search at www.zabasearch.com, you will locate Millers in Sterling, Illinois. Miller is a common name so you will also have to use the beginning letter of the first name, in this case, K when you do your search.

Best of luck to you.
