This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/0gB.2ACI/215.2 Message Board Post: Please try to make your requests as specific as possible. Do you know the name of the person who died? Do you mean that he died in the township or city of Dell Rapids? Have you checked whether there is a death certificate? Those began mid-1905, with some registered earlier. In order to have somebody search, you usually need the exact date of death because most obituaries are not indexed. Have you looked for church records?
