Millions of people search for death records online. And with death records

Where to Find Death Records Online
In America, 48 states have their death records online, which can be accessed
through a variety of means. Four of the states with the most number of sources
are Massachusetts, Iowa, Minnesota, and North Carolina.
Massachusetts has over a dozen web pages devoted to death records, such as a
Jewish obituary database and the obituary archives of the Boston Globe and the
Boston Herald.
Iowa death records can be found in around 18 websites, including the tombstones
inscriptions web page of Taylor County and a couple of funeral chapel obituary
web pages.
The Minnesota Historical Society, on the other hand, has a death certificate
database going back to 1904 and updated, so far, as of 2001. Although the
service requires a fee, the web page is just one among 20 other web pages
devoted to death records from the state, including a couple of Catholic cemetery
databases.
North Carolina also has 20 web pages with death records, including a register of
deeds that offers a search of death certificates from 1991 to the present and
Baptist state convention website.
Typing the name of the state and “online death records” in your browser will
turn up several choices.
Military Death Records Online
Military deaths are documented at the gravesite locator of the
US Department of
Veteran Affairs but the site does not have
records before 1997.
The Veteran's Department, however, does accept inquiries on deaths not found in
their website. Provide as much of the following information as possible:
• full name of deceased, plus other possible spellings
• birth date, place
• death date, place
• state where deceased enlisted or was drafted
• military branch
The same website also lists all the national cemeteries in every state across
the country, although some states, like Connecticut and Nevada, do not have
them. Information on notable military personnel buried in each cemetery is also
readily found online, such as data on those who received the Medal of Honor or
the first soldier to die during a certain war.
Members of the military buried overseas may be tracked down through the
American
Battle Monuments Commission, which contains
records of burials in two dozen military cemeteries located abroad.
Lastly, try public record search service providers. For the most reputable
providers, visit RecordsSiteReviews'
