Can anyone tell me the best way to find out online when and where people died . I have tried familysearch and FreeBMD but there is often no supportive evidence to sustantiate the dates. With so many people in my tree having the same name i an finding it hard to decide which one died when! All help and advice gratefully received. Thanks Alison |

Greetings from the US! If you are looking for deaths that occured in the USA, Ancestry.com has a SOCIAL SECURITY DEATH INDEX (free part of the site) that lists many US death dates. The Latter Day Saint Site also lists death....their website address is www.familysearch.org. Good luck in your search! |

Alison Family Research Link is very helpful - the index also shows the age of the deceased - can't remember when the index 1st started showing this, but certainly back to the early 1900s. Graham |

Graham The ages at death started being shown in 1911/1912. Always take into account that whoever is registering the death may not know the actual age of the deceased, so it is flexible like everything else. Vera, Manchester LAN |

Depends what area and period. Not online but if you can limit to a particular area then it could be worth getting hold of any MI fiche / booklets for churches in the area (if they have been recorded). These can give you a lot of information with often full birth and death dates as well other family members in the same grave. Find the local FHS either with a WWW search or by going through GENUKI. Then see if they have a catalogue of publications. Even if you don't have a fiche reader then you can always take down to the local library and ask to you one of their readers. It will only cost a few pounds for the fiche. Martin |
