As cities and congregations grew, burial yards were established in outlying areas. These cemeteries may have index cards listing information about those buried on their premises. You also will find published abstracts of thousands of church, public, and family cemeteries in large archives and libraries with genealogy collections. Also search mortuary records. Morticians kept detailed records for accounting purposes. In some places, morticians or funeral directors gathered the information recorded on the death certificate, obtained burial permits, and arranged to ship the deceased to their next-of-kin. If you know where a relative died, check "The Red Book," published by the National Directory of Morticians <http://www.funeral-dir.com/home_page.htm> for the names and addresses of morticians and funeral directors in that location. You may also find the name of the undertaker or funeral home on the death certificate. If the mortuary is no longer in business, its files may be in the custody of the county clerk, the local library, or the local historical society. In the files you may find funeral or burial registers, funeral books, funeral cards, and even telegrams or correspondence to the next-of-kin. Those records may contain the deceased's date and place of birth, date and place of death, parents' names and residence, spouse's name and residence, occupation, military service, religious affiliation, fraternal organizations, and survivors. If possible, capture an electronic image of that document. It is a snap to add it to your Ultimate Family Tree data and then print it in your family history. * * * * * PERMISSION TO REPRINT articles from ROOTSWEB REVIEW is granted unless specifically stated otherwise, PROVIDED (1) The reprint is used for non-commercial, educational purposes.
