One can find several points of info from a Death or Marriage
Certificate. 1. The names of both parties, 2.Dates when they were
living in the area, 3. Death certificates often give the names of the
parents, 3.Gives one clues to look for tax records, or church records
in the area, 4.The marriage date is often a clue to when the
approximate date their first child would be born. 5.The certificate
will give the maiden name of the bride, therefore, her parents would
be living nearby, and through the censuses one may find siblings,
several generations, and where each person was born from the 1850
Censuses on. 6.The Certificates are a legal paper of proof, as well as
Bible records are a legal paper of proof. 6.Yes, there are several
reasons to order a Death or Marriage Certificate. Eula
