You should also be able to get a contact of next of kin, etc. from the funeral home. If you need to get a recorded copy of the surrender of parental rights by the father, go to the web site for the county in which it was done. You can pull up anything under the father's name and print it out. On the death certificate, who provided the information? If it is a family member or friend, call them.
