Death records are a great start to your genealogical journey, and essential for family history research. They often include birth and death dates, the names of family members, last known addresses, and sometimes even cause of death. They provide a wealth of information, all in one place. They can then act as springboards for further investigations into other areas of your ancestor’s life. 

Beyond names and dates, death records sometimes provide personal anecdotes or obituaries, adding a touch of humanity to the names we find.
