The two places to look are the church records and the IGI. The IGI is available online on the LDS site, howver, be careful to check anything with the church records. Bob

The church records will give dates of baptisms and burials, rather than the actual births and deaths. Sometimes, parents would wait and do a "batch" baptism of children, so difficult to find out when they were actually born.
