Robert Seal_1 I wonder what the role is for the witnesses to a death. On my Scottish line, at death, they have an informant. That person is the one who finds the body and knows the details of how the person died. They are almost always listed on the death record. What role do you think Daniel Wentz and Friedrich Krauss played here? Thanks, Kent

You're welcome, Kent. My initial thought is that they witnessed the burial and made sure everything went according to plans.
