It will give the persons birth State; Birthdate; death date and county of death. Another way is Socail Security Death Index. If you have the SS# you can order a copy of the original application for Socail Secuirty number. It will give names of both parents. Where the applicant was born, date, madien name of mother as well as the persons job at the current time. It does cost $16 dollars but well worth it. I have access to this database if you don't. Email me at my address with information. JOLENE
