This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: Sweezy's -- stillborn - Where are their parents?? Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/lRB.2ACE/434 Message Board Post: Consistently I've found that when a child is stillborn or even a year or little less, there are no parents listed for the child at death at the cemetery. Why is that??? Often times, there is no date of birth for the children born alive but may have died soon after. Why is that??? I'm tired of trying to analyze the reasons why these children seemingly are forgotten in time. Lastly, if I were to request a death certificate on a child who HAS a name, will I actually be able to get parents listed on a death certificate? Would there be a death certificate for a stillborn?? Please, please, if anyone can help with this query, I'd be very grateful.
