Still nice to have the certificates and the actual date of death. Good luck with your research. Irene

	Hi, I recently purchased a death certificate. The name and address of the witness was given along with her address and relationship to the deceased. With this information, that the witness was her cousin I was able to use the census and find the link to the deceased bringing a whole new family line into my tree. Well worth the purchase. Cheers Paul
