how do I find free info on death,obituaries for family tree searches.?

Answer 1

If you have any living relatives interview them and find all the information they know or information that has been handed down to them. Also try to get pictures of family and ancestors. Pick the names you are looking for.

You can get a free download program from the Family Search site to begin to build your family tree.

I gathered enough to write histories of my mothers and fathers lineage. Once you start to seach, something happens. You begin to know your ancestors by their first name and you begin to feel their spirit.

I have a poem I will share with you. It Inspires you to search with all your might.

Strangers In The Box
Come, look with me inside this drawer,
In this box I've often seen,
At the pictures, black and white,
Faces proud, still, serene.
I wish I knew the people,
These strangers in the box, Their names and all their memories
Are lost among my socks.
I wonder what their lives were like,
How did they spend their days?
What about their special times?
I'll never know their ways.
If only someone had taken time
To tell who, what, where, or when,
These faces of my heritage
Would come to life again.
Could this become the fate
Of the pictures we take today?
The faces and the memories
Someday to be passed away?
Make time to save your stories,
Seize the opportunity when it knocks,
Or someday you and yours could be
The strangers in the box.
Pamela A. Harazim

Good Luck in you search.

Answer 2

You can look in the social security death index for dates and places of death and go from there. If you are close to the place of death or the place the deceased lived when they died, then you can go to the library and check microfilms of the newspapers in that area for several days after their date of death to find the obituary. Obituaries can be a wonderful font of information, telling you who their surviving relatives are and even who preceded them in death. Older obituaries often contain detailed information about the deceased's history as well. They weren't just a list of the surviving relatives but a short biography of the deceased.
