Randy - hope this helps For future genealogists, or others, you want to enter the actual location of the deceased death. If it happens to be in the hospital in a neighboring county or even country or other place of his usual residence this is pertinent. In the future if someone is looking for that person they can retrieve the death cert from that place. If they want to know where he actually lived they will be looking for census records or land records, etc. Allene in California -----Original Message----- From: Randy Jones <[email protected]> To: [email protected] <[email protected]> Date: Wednesday, February 18, 2004 4:45 PM Subject: [MISSISSIPPI] Places of birth/death >I have what is probably a stupid question.... > >When entering information into a genealogy form/program what location do you enter when a person was born or died in a hospital in a neighboring county.
