I thank all of you folks that have replied to my request about my Fox relatives, I really don't want to buy a death certificate. I now believe that they were cremated, but I still don't know if the remains were buried or what. I just thought that death certificates were available online. I am still tracking down their grand children. Their children are both dead. Don L.

Don, The desire to get everything for free online is common in geneology. But as in life, sometimes you have to pull out the checkbook!  : )  Remember, no one here is trying to see you anything, but we are trying to give you good advice based on our collective experiences.   Joe --- On Sun, 5/6/12, Don L Fox <foxeydl@q.com> wrote: From: Don L Fox <foxeydl@q.com> Subject: Re: [CALOSANG] Looking for 2 Fox relative's burial places.

I agree with Joe, we all would love to get everything free online. And I can sympathize with a limited budget and not wanting to spend money on genealogy. It depends on how badly you want the information, and how long you are willing to wait to get it. Maybe their burials will be listed online at some point in the future. Their remains had to go somewhere, whether or not they were cremated.
