Death Records Now

I had asked this question a few days ago:

http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=Ap_TSB9DpPUGSXtoVGoyo3_sy6IX;_ylv=3?qid=20080111174052AAWAZYi

I have since noted a few mistakes in what I had said.

1) I can’t figure out who he was because I can’t figure out what his last name was. I ca find his wife without a problem because she died later and everyone had her death information.
2) I can’t seem to find anyone on the Ellis Island record site, and I’m not familiar with any research libraries locally (though I’m sure there must be one. I live in Los Angeles. It’s more an issue of being able to get to one that isn’t an hour away).
3) Nobody remembers him because the oldest members of the family were too young when he died to remember (and the eldest had moved to California shortly before the death and remembers very little).

My question is this: how can I find what his last name was with the little information that I have?

Thank you all so much. You have been so helpful already
I know exactly when and where she died, but I have no record of her death, other than the fact that my grandmother wrote it down in a book.

Drop me a note through my profile and I’ll do my best to help you find his name. There are a lot of questions to ask you that are hard to fit on this one screen, but it has to do with where they lived before he moved and what everyone else’s names were. We can narrow it down with census, voter registration, land records, etc. Then we can refine it with marriage, death and birth records, and especially with church records if they were Christian. The good news is that our ancestors never go anywhere. The bad news is that some did a better job and hiding themselves than did others. But as long as he didn’t live between 1800-1868, we should be able to find him pretty quickly.

Need to know how to go about getting an address registry, without cost, for People of the City of Utah. Especially the Salt Lake City Area. Met a Family on line who would like to do a Mass mail out, due to the death of Their Son. (Not For Money).

I know the Politicians can get them. Do They obtain the addresses from the Voter Registration Lists, City Water Department Records, or possibly the County Tax Office? If
so, is there a cost to Them?

Any Help would be GREATLY Appreciated…………….

Thanks To All, Truly Thank You!

The Hanes directory is good but to get it in usable form is going to cost you. Of course you could visit the library and copy what you need by hand.

The only possible "free" source might be a real estate agent. Most brokerages have directories for any zip code that can be printed out in label format at no cost to the agents. It’s worth a shot.
