This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/EZ.2ADI/1106.2 Message Board Post: Name: Willard Baldwin Stephan Place: Broward Race: W Birth Date: 29 Jul 1896 Death Date: 23 May 1974 Certificate: 31958 To request death certificate: http://www.rootsweb.com/~flbrowar/howto.html Even with the exact date of death, a lookup for obit in two newspapers' microfilms involves about two hours' time, library parking $1/hour plus driving time of about 1 hour. Unfortunately, chances are not too good, for finding any (non-related) volunteer without a donation. For deaths after 1985, newspapers have been digitized, and therefore easier.
