Can anyone tell me how to go about finding a date of death for someone in the US. They appeared on the 1930 Census and then nothing more. Have looked everywhere on line with no luck.
Cheers

Have you tried the US SS death index:

http://www.familysearch.org/eng/search/frameset_search.asp?PAGE=ssdi/search_ssdi.asp&clear_form=true

Apart from that you'ld have to know which state rego'ed the death, and see what that state's access policy is - try cyndislist for this (under vital records).

Thanks for that. Familysearch don't list recent records and I know that they were both alive and kicking during the 1930s.

Will try Cyndislist.

You could try asking Lorraine who offers look ups USA/Canada on the Records Office board
I will nudge her thread up

Why not try the URL before making inaccurate statements abt what familysearch has or doesn't have?

I apologise mvng I was not reading it right. I did try your url specifically, I also tried a general search of familysearch, I also tried the Pilot site and also their beta site which all have different records. All to no avail.

I have left a message on the rootsweb CA-DEATH-INDEX in the hopes that someone can get back to me.

I will also try and find Lorraine.

Sorry if I upset anyone.
