Race is listed in some records.</p> <p>Death records, both early and modern, can help you identify others related to the decedent. The information provided in the records is usually given to authorities by a close relative. If the relative is a married daughter, the record will state her married name. Aunts, uncles, in-laws, cousins, and other relatives are listed as informants on death records. Each new name is a clue to the identity of other ancestors that should be pursued.</p> <p>Taken from <I>Chapter 3: Research in Birth, Death, and Cemetery Records, The Source: A Guidebook of American Genealogy</I> by Johni Cerny; edited by Loretto Dennis Szucs and Sandra Hargreaves Luebking (Salt Lake City, UT: Ancestry Incorporated, 1997).</p>'); }
