Hi. Lately there have been a number of places in Germany where death records are made available. Also in MyHeritage. These are of tremendous help as for instance, many children died before the age of 8 and also multiple marriages can be more easily confirmed when the death of a spouse can be found. For children who died without leaving descendants, they are often only come across accidentally when searching for death records. Finding births in the index can be used to confirm birth dates but in many cases the index doesn't show full names of both parents. In my experience, death records have much more comprehensive information.

There are many cases where death sources are listed in the catalog but seldom indexed (in Germany in any case) nor are they made available for online viewing. As many of theses scanned books contain their own indexes usually at the end of a year, just making them available for viewing online would be a great help.
