Use of Death and Funeral Home Records for Genealogical Research

Funeral home records and state death records are an important genealogical resource. Not only can they provide major subject information, but often we may find tidbits of data that will help “fill in the blanks”. While documents such as state death certificates may have changed over the years, records kept by a funeral home or cemetery have remained much the same. This presentation will show how to access those records, and how they can benefit your genealogical research.
