According to my mother, my great uncle George McHattie died in "a place called Orange" and "it must have been in New York because he sent his parents (who were living and working in South Africa at the time) many postcards from there". My limited internet researches have directed me to Orange County, NY. Mum's memory says he died some time in the 1920's, maybe of Spanish flu. Is there any way I can confirm this death and possibly find out more? Are there local registers of deaths or other records available somehow on-line or does the information have to be researched locally? I'd be grateful for any help.
