ReplyDeleteThere are also more practical situations. Someone may wish to trace their genealogy to locate information about a family member with whom they have lost contact with, or never knew about to begin with. They may want to either verify if the person is still living, or find out details about their death. Since these records are in the public domain, one can find out details such as the date and place of birth, names and other details on a surviving spouse and children, city and state of death, and even the cause of death and circumstances surrounding the death. This type of information is very important to people who are searching out facts to trace their genealogy.
