Social Security Death Index is a great source but it covers only between 1933 to the present (early 2000s) and it only covers those who bothered getting a Social security number!. It is common place now to be assigned at birth a SSN, but in the beginning it was optional!. Niot all my ancestors during that time had a SSN!. So you will just have to search it to find out!.

If you find a SSN, then you can send for a copy of the application for a social security number, as long as they are dead!. It will have their full name, the name of their parents and their parents' place of birth, where and when they were born, and their occupation!.

Some sites offer free obits search, but most are for recent obits so far!.

Using two censuses, you can narrow down to a ten year range when someone died!. You can then search for info specific to that county or city for death info!.

There are a lot of ways to work around gaps in info to get the right info!.

Try this site too!. They only have a few states where they have extracted info from death records!.

It depends on what state you need!. Some states have them on a website like Missouri, Ohio, Kentucky that I know of, but only up through certain years!. Virginia does not post anything because they want your money!. Go to the usgenweb site and view by state and/or county; don't forget to check the usgenweb archives!. also try the new familysearch labs project!. They have Ohio death certificate images and West Virginia death records!. If you're looking for recent documentation, I'm afraid you'll have to pay!. Older stuff is easier to find!. Keep digging - you'll figure it out!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

There is no, free, world wide death search site!.
The reason I said it that way, is because you did not include either a country OR a time frame for what you need!.
The social security death index mentioned above is for the US!.!. and it only indexes deaths for APPROX!. the last 50 yrs (ie early 60s to present)!. If this meets your criteria, then ssdi will be your first stop!.
If you are in the UK!.!. there is a birth/death/marriage index!. I will admit that I have not used this, and do not have specifics on this!. I can't tell you what the exact time frame available is!.
US deaths prior to the ssdi will not be in any one central location!.!. and you would have to have at least SOME idea of when the death happened!. Some states have indexes that cover wider times than the ssid!.!. but that is variable!. You also can access some through ancestry!.com!.!. but that is a fee service!. Some options are to use it at your local library (if they subscribe), or you can get a free 14 day trial!.
If you have reason to be almost certain that the person IS dec'd!.!.!. then I encourage you very much to post what details you do have, including the name!. It is very possible that someone here can find it for you!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
