Not the point though Michelle - I personally have some ideas, but Legacy is giving me no suggestions on where to look I do have a number of "Alt. Death" events for people who I am uncertain of when they died - even those don't help Legacy to give me hints like the regular normal ones of"Cemeteries, World-wide" or "England Probate Records" or "England/Wales Parish Register - Burials" etc It doesnt even have these as suggested soources for this person
No, I didn't find the names from Obituaries, if I had, I'd have a death date or at least year for them I have the names from the baptisms of their children or their own marriage document, or from census records. No I can't always use the census records because some of these people died after the last available census for the area (ie 1911 in England) Yes, some did die between census records, and for those I don't need the hints because I have a very defined time frame.
