Death Certificates, Much More than a Record of Death!
Presented by Bill Meister
Jan 8, 2026, 1:30 - 3:30 PM
Ormond Beach Regional Library,Sandcastle Auditorium
Death Certificates are one of those essential documents that can serve as both a hook and a steppingstone to uncover untold genealogy information about one’s family. This presentation provides examples and demonstrates the methodology by which the trail of subtle clues contained in Death Certificates can reveal unexpected family insights.
Benefits of HGS Membership
