Vera, as far as obituaries, it wouldn't matter if he died in Glendale, Milwaukee, Shorewood or Whitefish Bay, as the same newspapers serve those areas. They are all continguous cities. I see someone else emailed you that he died in the City of Milwaukee. By the way, all these cities are also in Milwaukee County, so they would all be covered by death records available through the Milwaukee County Courthouse. Your name gave me a start, until I realized it's Hamson, not Hanson. My material grandparents were good end-of-lifetime friends with a childless couple named Carl and Vera Hanson (originally from Denmark via New York). We (my sisters and I) ended up with many of Vera's dishes, knicknacks, etc., and I consider them to be my great aunt and uncle, by soul if not by blood. mrf [email protected] wrote: >Hi, > >I found a Harold Heidelberg (329-38-6712) in the LDS Social Security Death index. Date of death was given as May 1973 with the place of death as Wisconsin (the region including Glendale, Milwaukee, Shorewood and Whitefish Basin). Is there a way of narrowing down the city although I suspect that it was Milwaukee? My thought was to see if the city library would do an obituary search. I do not have an Ancestry.com subscription. Would someone be willing to check that database for me? > >Regards, >Vera Hamson > >
