Family History Beginners Board / I don't see dead people
« on: Tuesday 11 June 19 07:07 BST (UK) »
I've developed a decent size tree of 400 people using mostly census, marriage and birth data. I have a reasonable level of confidence in the data by cross checking the parents of siblings, mothers maiden name and marriage records. However where i really struggle is killing people off. Online death records contain very little information and with a common family name (Smith) there are often 5-10 possibles for each person taking area and timeframe into account.
Most of the people on one side of my tree don't have death dates. While this isn't important for building a tree the completist in me would like to do better. Can people suggest tips for online verification of deaths ? - i'm currently living outside the UK and use FindMyPast.
