Death Location

Legg inn av Skippy » 24 mai 2005 05:33:32

Can anyone tell me which is the correct method of nameing a place of death.
My Grandfather was living in a small town when he became ill and died in
the hospital in a nearby city. Which would I list as the place of death?
Anyone?

My first thought would be to use the same location that's listed on the
death certificate. If that is where the hospital is located, then in my
notes I'd put the name of the town where he lived (and the county, if
the hospital was in a different county than the town).

I have a field to enter place of death hut I can also have another field for
resided. I use that to record residence in census, marriage, birth and death
certificate - wherever it is stated. To me place of death is place of
death - otherwise people might think he died at home and that is not true.

I put the name of the town in which they died. I use FTM and list as a
fact "Residence at Death" which clarifies everything.

The city that the hospital was located in is his place of death.
Where his house was at death was his residence.

Unless a person dies at home, I list both (if known).

The place where he died.

The other is his place of residence.

If the hsp was in the same town, just list the town. Otherwise, list the
town of the hospital because that is where future genealogists would
need to look to find the death certificate.

Everyone seems to agree. Have to admit, makes perfect sense. Sounds like a
dumb question now.Sorry took so long to get back. Just my luck. Post a
question and then have to leave town <g>
Thanks you everyone
