Using Burial & Death Records in your Genealogical Research
Information on burial/death records can be useful as you can use the names as a starting point to begin tracing the ancestors on the record back another generation. You may want to know:
- If an ancestor was alive in a certain period
- How they died (perhaps there is a family history of illness?)
- Where they were buried
- Their date and place of birth (have they lived in one place all their life?)
We have provided a case study on this website so you can see just how easy it is to find a death record, and some links to related information that may be helpful to you.
