I just had this very question brought up a few days ago. My husband passed away last Sunday, Jan. 27. While meeting with one of the funeral directors, our conversation got a bit sidetracked onto genealogy and he mentioned that funeral homes would be wonderful places to seek information. At this particular home, he said they had records going back to the turn of the century when the business began. Ginger in Mississippi
