Hello List I am a new subscriber. I'm trying to help my German friend find her American family. I've succeeded up to 1935. This is the Christian & Maria Hein Becker family. I located them in the census records and then in the city directories in Salt Lake City last week. Address was on Woodlawn Ave.in 1935. Maria was a widow then. One son Albert Gustav Becker I located on the SSDI. He died in October 1972. I sent for death certificate to Vital Records, P. O. Box 309, Madison, enclosing $7 check. The check was never cashed nor any word received. Can anyone suggest how to proceed. Any suggestions on how to locate present day members of this family would be much appreciated. Edna
Hi Edna, I would suggest you view the WI Vital death index records for Albert Becker (for his exact death date). . Find his obit, then perhaps find where he is buried. Other family members may be nearby. Do you know if they are Catholic? If so, contact the Archdioceses as all their cemetery records are computerized, and some are online. I can check for his death date in the near future, and his obit, if you can't access them. Also, the Golda Maer library has probate indexes at the library and there might be something on any of these family members. Hope this helps!
