Death Records Now

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.

I am doing some genealogy research. And I found birth records for my great uncle in texas but a social security death index that says he passed away in Florida and his SSN was issued in Illinois.

Sure; happens all the time. Before 1980 or so you got your SSN when you applied for your first job, not at birth. I have forgotten exactly when, but the IRS decided that if you were going to claim a child, you had to have an SSN for him/her. The number of dependents went down by millions the year that went into effect.

Anyway, for someone born before then, whatever the year it was, it would be common to be born on the farm, then go to the big city to seek employment; if the big city was across the state line, or your whole family moved west when you were 10, you’d be born in one state and have your SSN issued in another. Then, when you retired to Florida or Arizona, you’d die in a third state.

My favorite Genealogy website is www.ancestorology.com It’s a Genealogy website focused on research in the midwest, particularly Missouri, Kansas, Iowa and Nebraska. They have information on the following:

Birth Announcements
Marriage Announcements
Obituaries
Yearbooks
Funeral Books
Military Records
Newspapers
Probates
Wills
Marriage Licenses
Death Certificates
Land Records
Tombstones
Cemetery books
Atlases
County Assessor Records
County Tax Records
County Court Docket Records
County Census Records

And if I need a specific record the do not have they will make a special trip just for the particular record I am looking for.

www.cyndislist.com
which lists THOUSANDS of websites for research.
If you limit yourself to one.. you are kind of cutting off your nose.
if you limit yourself to the internet for research.. you are just getting the tip of the iceberg.
