I would like to ask the list for their expertise on this subject (I am trying to locate living children); 1) Through the SS death index I have identified an individual having died in ohio in 1982. It notes the last benefits were paid in Mt. Dora Florida. Does this mean his wife moved to Florida and is now collecting benefits? 2) I cannot locate his wife including in the SS death index. Can I assume she is living since she is not in the index? 3) I live in Ohio as did the individual I am trying to identify. Though I have a date of death there was no obituary. I would rather not pay $15.00 for a certified death certificate but that is all Ohio offers. Does anyone know of any other means of tracking this without paying for the certificate?
