Outside your village
So I have covered physically talking to some and when to tackle the barely cold record changes…
So now it is about that next step out of the village that raised you or watched you grow through word of mouth from living relatives.
Simple starts include:
Taking someone you have stories about and confirm their data… confirming can lead you on a trail for more details.
Googling newspapers to see if there are any vital announcements.
the announcements like funeral announcements may include the close relatives that may be grieving
direct relatives
cause of death, date (time some times), and intended disposal[lose term cremation, burial, etc] location
basic bio- employment, birth death, siblings and schooling
birth place, time and parents
Engagement announcements contain the parents and locations that the direct families come from giving you the next pin
location of parents, parents
full names
birthdays some times
employment
residence (older papers)
Bankruptcy and legal declarations, harsh but contain birthdate and full name for that one guy who uses alternative names to evade
full name
employment
birth
address
Divorce announcements
