Re: Finding a death date in NYC #general

Liz Hanellin asked:My great grandmother, Rebecca POPKIN, died sometime between
August 1962 and September 1963, but I don't have a specific date and I don't know where she is buried. Does anyone have advice for me on how to find her death information? I would suggest the following: 1. social security death index (try all surnames, especially if you know her date of birth) 2. try JOWBR, our JewishGen burial registry with 2 million names 3. try findagrave, billiongraves and jewishdata web sites 4. look for an obit in the NY Times historical and other NY papers 5. try the large Jewish Cemeteries in NY http://www.montefiores.com/Montefiore/jewish-cemeteries-new-york/index.html http://www.mountararatcemetery.com http://www.mountcarmelcemetery.com/search.asp?type=interment http://www.mounthebroncemetery.com/search.asp?type=interment http://www.mountjudah.com http://www.mountlebanoncemetery.com www.mountmoriahcemeteryofnewjersey.org http://www.mountzioncemetery.com/search.asp?type=interment and enjoy the hunting!
