Starting Your Texas Obituary Search
It’s easy to start. Just enter the surname of a relative and click the “Search” button. For a more detailed search, follow these steps:
- Step 1: Enter the first and last names of your relative
- Step 2: Add keywords like schools or towns to narrow down the results.
- Step 3: Leave out any words that don't relate to your family.
- Step 4: Give a range of years to make sure you find the right person.
- Step 5: Change how the results are sorted to see the best matches first.
However, finding ancestors in the Texas obituary archives can be tough if your relative had a common name. Here are a few extra tips to make your search even more successful:
- Look at your family tree, then move to the oldest members on it.
- Look first for the initials of the name in very old obituaries.
- If you're searching for a lady, try using her husband's name.
- Check for common spelling mistakes – they were pretty common back in the day.
Search Beyond Obituaries
Don’t forget, while obituaries and death notices are valuable, cross-referencing with other historical records is crucial for an accurate family tree. Explore additional resources like birth and marriage records, passenger lists, and more to get a full picture of your ancestry.
Discovering your family history is a journey. Verify your findings with multiple sources before adding them to your family tree. For more tips on navigating newspaper archives for genealogy research, check out the GenealogyBank Learning Center.
