im really keen to write stories about the life of each of my family members. the prob comes when they die. i know it might be a bit grom but i think it would be interestng to also add cause of death. is there any way of doing this without having to order death certs?

Natalie Apart from cause of death which is always of interest to the gruesome - and boy will you learn some new medical terms! - death certs can be of use as the informant is often a close relative. My great-grandmother's death cert was altered to include information about her dead husband's occupation and address which gave me another place where she'd lived. nell
