Obituaries

Death Notices Project
Why Should I Research Obituaries?

An obituary is considered a secondary source. The reason for this is that except for the death date and funeral information, all the information is given by someone who was not present when the event happened. However, it is a source that should be researched. You'll be glad you did.

Here are some of the reasons:

  • They often provide evidence of the individual's marriage, place and date of birth, parents, siblings, and children.
     
  • You can determine the exact date and place of death
     
  • Obituaries will often lead to other genealogical sources.

If things like occupations, religion, military service and similar details are mentioned, be sure to follow up research in these new sources.

Please do remember that all the information located in an obituary may not be accurate and true. Like any genealogical source, details should be verified with other records. Normally the informant for the source of the information is not given; so it is by definition, a secondary source, not a primary record.

Here in , we are slowly extracting some of the data from the death notices and obituaries published in the Puerto Rican and USA Newspapers. For more information about the deceased person, please visit a Newspaper repository to examine the original.
