Surnames: WOOD Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/pBC.2ACE/4177 Message Board Post: I am looking for the death record of Daniel J Wood born 1869 in Canada. The 1900- 1920 census records show him as a proprietor of a restaurant in Seattle and in 1930 he is retired in the Ravenna neighbourhood of Seattle. I do not see him in the death index that starts in 1940 so he must have died 1930 -1940. What's the best way to get his death record so I can search for an obituary. Will the state do a search or do I have to have the exact date? Joanna Waugh Hamilton, Ont Canada.
