I started looking through the death certificates. I think I found my Grandmother, but only if the number that I think is indicating age, is indeed that. What are all the numbers following the name? Also, I assumed M was for male and F for female, but I found whole pages, where everyone has an M, even the Esters, Janes and Mary's.
