Using this collection

Records in the collection may include the following information:

  • Name
  • Age
  • Death date
  • Death place
  • Burial date
  • Burial place
  • Burial location
  • Burial records often contain important vital information that can be used to confirm when and where your ancestor died. Keep in mind that while some records may include the date of death, the dates referenced in most burial records will be the date of burial, not the exact death date. However, the date of burial is often very close to the death date as most burials occur within about a week of a person's death.

    If you know the location where your ancestor died, it may be useful to search both where they died and their burial location.
