Hi everyone, I'm new this list and I think an ancestor of mine died in New Haven Ct. I'm hoping that someone might be able to track down an obit for me? Please? I'm looking for a James Slavin, died August 1st 1962. Aged 85. If anyone can help me please get in touch, I'm in Scotland and it makes research on the other side of the Atlantic quite hard at times. thanks in advance, Julie Scotland
Julie, I checked the Social Security Death Index and there is a James Slavin b. 21 Sept. 1876, d. Aug 1962, SS# 048-07-1258, issued in CT before 1951. He died in CT but it is not specific. On Ancestry.com for residence it gives the number 07. Rootsweb.com just says (Connecticut) (not specified). I searched around trying to figure out what the 07 might mean. It may be Middlesex County. You might try writing to Heath Dept. Vital Records, 410 Capitol Ave., 1st Floor, Hartford, CT 06134. Give all the information you have, and request a death certificate to get the actual place of death. I believe the fee is $5.00. Unless you know for sure what town he lived in it may be hard to find an obit.

Julie, One more suggestion, go to www.raogk.org/connecti.htm you may be able to find someone who lives in CT that can help you. I have used this site and found people to help me out. I live in Florida and all of my research is out of state.
