A person may need death records search for a number of reasons. One reason that a person may need the death record is to verify a friend that has passed, or perhaps they’re building their family tree. Vital records can be viewed online for reference and verification purposes through public record websites, like SearchQuarry.com, and used for unofficial purposes.

That being said, only immediate family to the deceased may actually get an official copy of a person’s death certificate that can be used for official purposes. If this is the case, where someone needs a copy of a death certificate, there are a couple of options. The first is to reach out to the clerk of the county where the family member passed away and the second is to reach out to the state’s Department of Health as this department archives official death certificates that can only be obtained by immediate family or a court order.

    My nephew passed away while in jail in Tampa in June 1995. His name was Luis R Felix. We never knew how he died or what happened I have tried over the years to find some information but all I find is that he died and that it was in June of 1995 never how did he die if the guards killed him or he died at the hands of another person in jail.

  2. Regina(Richer) Kovacevicsays:

    I want to know how my paternal grandmother and her two daughters died. Her name was Mary(Chiconni)Richer. The two girls names were Letha and Elaine Richer. My grandmother was born in approx 1896, the girls in early 1920’s or just before. All were born in Conneaut, Ohio. Mary had one other child Vincent B. Richer born July 11 1912, my Father. Mary, Letha and Elaine died in Buffalo, NY by suicide, murder or all murdered. I’m trying to find out exactly how they died/ One family member said the mother killed her daughters and then herself. Another said they all were murdered. Apparently Mary’s father looked for them, after three months found they were dead in Buffalo, NY. He took my Father and went to identify their bodies and bring them home. They are buried in St. Joseph’s Catholic cemetery there.
