At first I was totally unsuccessful in finding anyone on the death index.
However, last night I found many, many relatives listed. I did discover that
it is necessary to search an entire listing of surnames for the person I
wanted. For example, I tried every combination I could imagine for my
grandfather Ernest Cyrus Smith. I found him listed as Ernest G. Smith!!! My
advice to everyone is "keeping trying and trying and trying!" It may take a
lot of time and effort, but isn't that true of everything to do with
genealogy? Good Luck ... and Happy Holidays!!! Kathy in Portland.
