Family Tree. For example Elvira Ballentine Ryan died Dec. 10, 1988 in Jordan, Garfield Co., MT. You can request a copy of her obituary from the Garfield County Library, 406-557-2297 or Drawer 69, Jordan, MT 59337-0069. After I receive the obituary, I look for survivors. Then I use zabasearch.com or spokeo.com to look up current contact info. If you need help with where to find obituaries, contact me. Successful Searching & Happy Holidays!
