yes we need more then that.

Your best bet is to goto Rootsweb.com come, find the county they died in and submit a "Obit needed" posting. You need to ask post their full name and date of death as well as the county they died in.

In the USA, once you know the exact date and place of death, you have four options;

1) Find it on-line
2) Go to the library
3) Send a request, donation and SASE to the library
4) Post a request on an active county-level genealogy bulletin board
