Did you know that about 20% of deaths in the United States are investigated by a Coroner or a Medical Examiner? I first got interested when I accidentally found a Coroner’s Report for my Great Aunt, who died in 1911. Her cause of death was accidental and very sad. So I began researching Coroner Reports and Inquests for those ancestors where the death was questionable. The Quicksheet has answers to these questions:
- When does a Coroner get involved?
- What can we find in these records?
- What should we research next?
- Where can we find Coroner Records Online?
