I too can't find the death of my g.grandfather in the NBI = "National BURIAL Index". This means I have no ref. number with which to obtain a copy death certificate. I then visited the city where he lived. A couple of ancient aunts have a vague idea of the year of death and has an idea which cemetery he's buried in but it's absolutely HUGE and I gave up after a couple of hours. The local cremetorium/cemetery archivist told me it was pointless looking thro their vast records, so I visited the local library and viewed the old local newspapers looking at obituaries with no luck. However, the registrar told me to find a large library which has the "St. Catherine's DEATH Index" which she's positive will have the entry.
