Dying to Find Out: Beyond Death Certificates
Death is the final genealogical event, but death records are often where research begins. How to understand their contents, what it says and equally important what it does not say will determine the accuracy of your story. With this in mind, we will examine death records and explore various complimentary records such as: cemetery and burial records, monuments, tombstones, undertakers, yahrzeit calendars, plaques, Yizkor records, synagogue and society records as well as government issued records. Come and discover treasures buried in your documents- the things you are just ‘dying to find out’.
