Death Records Now

I’m researching his genealogy for a friend of mine. I have had trouble finding his obituary in newspaper microfilm because I don’t know the exact date that he died. Does anyone know this or where I can go to find it out. He does not show up in the Social Security Death Index, or rootsweb, or ancestry.com. Google searches typically bring up stuff about an unrelated Mexican singer of the same name.

Is there a (preferably free) place where I can access records from the censuses that the United States took in the Philippines while they were still an American colony? I’ve tried the National Archives in Washington State. They have everything else including the Panama Canal Zone, but for some reason they don’t have the Philippines even though it was a U.S. territory back then and there were at least three censuses taken by the U.S. in the early 1900s.

Ancestry.com doesn’t have the Philippine census either, nor can I find it anywhere else. Anyone know where I can find it?

Maybe yes or maybe no…You really don’t have much for sure to go on! I found this in the S.S.D.I.
Born 15 May 1882

Name : Mike Lobos
Unless you have something closer! I can"t believe that this guy
worked in this country for many years without a S.S. Card

My husband and I have been married for 10 Wonderful Years! I would not give him up for anything. He grew up in Upper Class Catholic Orphanages – is Bi-Racial – Was Never Adopted. He has Never seen a member of his family or knows them. He was given a ‘letter’ from the NYC Catholic Diosese of New York to get his ID and Social Security #. He has a major degree from the University of Arkansas and had his own Construction Buisiness that was Highly Sucessfull in Texas. We know his mothers name – which is our last name and his father – who is dead June 1994! The Catholic Disosese Refuses to let him know anything! He has no Crimanal Record of any kind. He is the my best friend and the finest person I have ever met! We have gone to Attorney’s, National Archives (Where I found his father’s record of death). He just wants to know where he came from. When he got on Social Security Disability Nothing was required.
Take Care and Thank You
God Bless!

Hope he find answers he is looking for, if only to satisfy his pain at being abandoned. It’s a terrible burden he’s carrying.
