FUNERAL HOME RECORDS
These records are very valuable .for anyone researching any relatives who might have lived here or had relatives who came from this area. The fact that most of the individual death records show the age by year, month and day helps to calculate a birth date and, in some instances, it lists the spouses name. One of the most valuable items however is the listing of the deceased's fathers name and mothers maiden name and where they were born. This feature has provided me with key information allowing me to add many individuals and generations to my family tree.
These records can be searched by using your web browsers "find in page" search feature. They are listed alphebetical by last name if you just wish to browse. If you find something you can use, please let me know by signing and indicating such in my guest book. Cemeteries listed here can be found by using the Chautauqua County Genealogy link on my home page. If anyone would like a copy of the original transcript cover page and the exact page containing an ancestors information for a paper record, I will provide that. You can contact me with the email address on the home page.
