Death Records Now

My grandpa died two months before i was born and just recently i found out from my Uncle that my father lied about my grandpa’s death. My dad said Gramps died in Illinois but my uncle said he died in Alabama and said something about police records. Nobody will tell me anything and its killig me to not know. How can I find the information I need? Please help me… Im desperate.

Track down your family history to figure out who your grandfather is from your dad’s or uncle’s background they should share the same father. It shouldn’t be that hard to be who your grandfather is. Go over and fidn your father’s birth certificate usually parents name are written on the certificate just to tell that the person have parents.

I’m doing genealogy and I’m looking for information on my grandfather. He immigrated from Mexico and I can’t find him. I know when he passed away and where but am running into a road block. Can anyone help?
I’m not looking for the certificate itself. I’m more or less looking for the information that is found on it like the SSDI database. I was just wondering if there is any sites that would tell me information like that but involving birth instead of death. For instance, place of birth and mother and father.
Particularly, I’m looking for anything on my grandpa’s birthplace and parents. His name was Frank Hernandez. Born in 1897 and died in December 1978 in South Dakota.

http://vitals.rootsweb.ancestry.com/ca/death/search.cgi
has "9,366,786 records from 1940 thru 1997". It is for California. There are other sites like that; certain states, certain time periods. There isn’t a nation-wide data base of all deaths.

http://ssdi.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/ssdi.cgi
is nation-wide but not everyone is on it.

www.findagrave.com has 22 million entries.

Hunt around. Google "Death index Utah" or "Death Index Idaho".

Note that almost no site has the certificate; you have to write away (and pay for) that
