How do I go about looking for where my uncle is buried?

Question:

How do I go about looking for where my uncle is buried?

The last thing that I know about where he was he wrote me before he died in Ohio. He also said that he received a check from our government in Austin Texas. He also had a set of twins that he gave up for adoption and never talked to again that I know of.
