You can find some information on the internet. Below are some sites to look as backup information. A death record is the absolute proof, and you get them for relatives from the municipality where the relative passed away, usually a county records office. You can find that office on the internet with the YAHOO! SEARCH for "VITAL RECORD <location>", where you put your county or city as the location.

If the death is recent, it may take time for SSA to post the death, and Family Search will not have it until SSA posts it. You can also look for Obituaries in the local paper, that is what most people do. The local librarian will be happy to assist you, especially if you are nice!
