Hi Mary, I'd try writing to Carnegie Library in Pittsburgh and asking them to check the newspapers for an obituary. The two biggest would be the "Pittsburgh Press" and the "Pittsburgh Gazette Times" for May 15, 16, and 17, 1904. This may give the information you need to narrow down other facts such as which funeral home she was buried from and exactly where she died. From there you may be able to check a county death record. Good luck, Denny Ardinger ---------- From: Mary Couch <Couch@netusa1.net> To: PABEAVER-L@rootsweb.com Subject: [PABEAVER-L] Death record help needed. Date: Monday, September 28, 1998 2:11 AM Would someone please tell me where I can write for a death record and how much the fees are. My GGrandmother Sophia Miller was buried May 14, 1904 in St. Michaels cemetery in Pittsburgh next to her husband Peter. There is no death record in Allegheny county or the Catholic church she attended. She died May 11, 1904. I now believe she died in another county and then taken to St. Michaels for burial. I thought checking the counties surrounding Allegheny would be a good starting point. Thanking you in advance.
