How to Find Death Records Online

[Jane Tilly]

Interested in finding out more about your ancestors? If you are,
you're not alone. Many people are interested in learning about their
past relations, and take up genealogy as a hobby. However, tracing
your family history and attempting to learn about your relatives from
previous generations is information that isn't always easy to find.
This is particularly true for anyone who attempts to find details
about their deceased ancestors for free. The reason isn't that the
information being sought out is not free, but because most people
don't know where or how to begin their search.
To find information on your relatives that were living generations
ago, you should begin by searching death records, which is a vital
record that can provide you with information including:
? Date of death ? Location of death ? Date and location of funeral ?
Death certificate ? Obituary records ? Cemetery listings ? Date of
birth ? State in which they were born ? County vital records resources
Where can you find death records? All death records are available for
free through the Social Security Death Index (SSDI). The SSDI is a
comprehensive list of deceased Americans. This index can be accessed
online for free through various searches, making it the best place to
begin your investigation.
Essentially, when it comes to looking for death records online, you
can conduct different searches in order to help you find what you are
looking for. To begin your lookup, call up your favorite search engine
and enter the full name of the person you are looking for into the
query box and attach the word "death record", "obituary" or "cemetery"
to the name (I.E. "john smith obituary").
You should prepare yourself for the overwhelming amount of results
that will be returned to you. This will be a particular problem if the
person for whom you are searching has a very common name. To help
focus your search, it is a good idea to take your death records
investigating to a website that specializes in public record lookups.
These sites contain large databases that include multiple resources
for various vital records that could be of help to you.
Although you will be required to pay a small fee to search death
records online with these sites, you will find that the fee will
provide you with instant access to a well organized directory of
details - information that would otherwise take you days, weeks, or
months to find about the deceased individual that interests you if you
were to use traditional or other free search methods.
