I have found this very helpful and it allowed me to send away for the death certificates which usually state the cause of death. You may have to check the names in several different varieties of spellings. Also, if the death was back in 1880's or so, you probably won't find our parent's names or the like. You will have the undertaker and cemetery, though. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
