Question:

I have an old medal the owner is dead how do i find any living relatives?

I have an old world war medal and would like to return it to one of the owners family. I have the persons date of death and his mum and dads name and address. However the address does not exsist anymore how can i find any living relitives.

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: If you have his date of death, you could contact the Vital Records Clerk in that town and see who is listed as "Informant" on the Death Certificate. That is usually a spouse or child and his/her address would also be on the certificate.
