You should state dates of birth and death, as nearly as possible. The death certificate will give the cemetery, and much more information. Next are a few records in Broward Court --- I cannot explain the meaning of the cases other than your father was Plaintiff in one case, and Defendant in another case. He apparently was still living in 1998. There is no Probate case mentioned, meaning he must have had a Will or Trust. Lastly is a fee-charging web site. It's a gamble whether the info is of any use to you. http://www.rootsweb.com/~flbrowar/howto.html JOSE A PAULO 49 FL JOSE A PAULO 56 FL = Available to subscribers only.

Your father was not found on FLDI (Florida Death Record). If you send for a death certificate, as suggested above, you will know if, in fact, he died in Florida. Hope this will help. Ruth
