Tracing your ancestors through death records : a guide for family historians / by Celia Heritage.

Includes bibliographical references and index.

"Of all family history sources, death records are frequently the most revealing since they often give a far greater insight into our ancestors' lives and personalities than those records created during their lifetime. Despite this, many researchers are unaware of the treasure trove of information they contain which can prove vital for fleshing out a family tree and locating yet further record sources. Celia Heritage leads readers through all the essential types of death records, showing how they can be found, read and interpreted. This second, updated, edition of her best-selling handbook is packed with useful information and helpful research advice."--Back cover.
