Finding Lost People
Last night, I went on Ancestry.com. I’m in love!
I am trying to see how far back I can get my family tree. I’m sure eventually The Princess is going to need this information. Although, I’m sure I needed it well before 5th grade!
I do have ONE person I can’t seem to match up on there though. I can’t figure out if they are alive or dead. I’ve never met them, but because of their relationship to me (which will remain unknown) I have access to some of their records (i.e. marriage certificate, draft card, social security number).
With the information I have, is there anywhere to look (for free) to find out if someone is dead or alive? HELP!
On a different note, or at least person, I found my Great-Grandfather’s draft card online! It was amazing! He has been dead since 1988. I haven’t seen his handwriting since then! But, as soon as I saw it, I knew it was his writing!
Yes, I cried! I miss him! (He died on May 12, 1988! My dad’s birthday!)
I guess I am just going to keep up my search for the lost people!
