Free Death Records

People sometimes want to conduct a search of death records to find out about their genealogy. Like just about everything else these days, these records are easily found on the Internet. One of the most comprehensive free death record sites is http://www.publicrecords.onlinesearches.com/.

This site is designed in such a manner that you can find just about any public record that you need. And it's organized so that you can find it in any manner that you choose. You can simply enter a zip code and it will pull up a list of records for you. When trying to locate a death record, you should try to enter the zip code of the state in which the deceased lived or was buried.

You can also search this database by entering a city and a state. This can narrow your search and is just another option that the site provides. Again, when using this site to search for a death record, enter the city and state of where the deceased lived or was buried.

If you look further down on the homepage, you will find a listing of all the states. Clicking on one of these links will bring you to a new page where it will ask you for either the zip code or the city for the state in which will be the information you need. You can be even more specific by selecting from a drop-down list of all the counties in that state.

There are also many sites for cemeteries. These are different in the way that you will not receive the actual death record or the death certificate but you can extract the information the cemetery has. This information is likely to include the name of the person, the date they died, and the date they were buried. This can help widen your search greatly as it provides more information than just a name.
