Great job you are doing when do you think we will be able to take a look at it????????? Thanks Ric ----- Original Message ----- From: C.

I have one of the original Death Registry for Schoolcraf Township (transcription over 1/2 done) for 1898 and 1917 and it lists the Medical Attendant, Undertaker, and Reporter of Death. A lot of times, the reporter of Death is a family member that you didn't know about, and a lot of times it is the Town Supervisor. In one entry, it listed the father as the Undertaker of a stillborn child. These additional fields do often provide helpful pointers.
