Message Board Post:
Often the best place to find where someone was from is to start with where they died. Your
family story is waiting to be found. I suggest getting death certificates and obituaries.
Both should have parents' names and obit may have exact birthplace and surviving
siblings which can be a BIG help. If you know where they married then get their marriage
record. If you know what cemetery these people are buried in their headstones should give
birth and death dates. If you know what church they were members of or where they are
buried check with each to see what may be in their records on them. You might try
www.familysearch.com;
findagrave.com; Family Finder at
FTDNA.com Newspapers are archived
on microfilm in public libraries and local historical societies. If you can visit a Family
History Ctr, you can order microfilm from LDS in Salt Lake City. Happy hunting for those
lost relatives.
