Tips for finding deaths
Successfully finding death records in online databases depends on a few key points. Try the following search suggestions:
 * Your ancestor’s name and surname may have had many different spelling variations.
 * If you are not finding what you’re looking for, try using wildcard characters. That is, use an asterisk * to replace one or more characters.
 * Try searching surrounding areas. Your ancestors may have died in another town than where they lived earlier in life.
 * Be flexible with year searches. Give a year range of about 2-3 years on either side of the believed year of the event.
