    It really depends on the time and the place so your question is too broad. The answer will be very different depending on whether you are asking about 1970's California or 1370's Poland.

    If you have an Family Tree ID for the person, the quickest way to get advice is to post the ID so people can see everything you already know about the person.

    My favorite right now is obituaries as found in newspapers.

    My favorite right now is obituaries as found in newspapers.

    The information in an obituary is only as good as the knowledge of the informant. A recent obituary in my research states the deceased was born in Manchester, England, but he was born in London.

    Hi @Aye868 , if you can give us a better idea of time, and possibly a general location. . .

    @Gordon Collett is right, we would need more details to help you get a better idea of where to start.
