Genealogy Tip: quotation marks and death certificates

I was taught to use google by putting a husband and wife’s name individually in quotation marks in the search bar and I sometimes add a state also. Example: “George Villyard” “Martha Pierce” “GA”. This is especially useful when using marriage records to find related families. AP member Jenny Floyd

One thing I’ve really learned is to pay attention to the “Informant” on those death records. Often it may be a 2nd or 3rd wife or one of their children who doesn’t have a clue to the actual information concerning the deceased nor his/her parents. Regards, AP member -Jim Newell
