Besides the Familysearch site, check with your local historical society, and with your state. Public info varies from state to state. Findagrave.com also may have death and burial information. In Minnesota, most marriage information is available for free. Death certificates can be viewed at the History Center and copies made. They have lots of information on them. Cemeteries can help with grave locations.The Historical Society has free info on line. South Dakota marriage info is readily available. Google in many instances has a lot of info. Local libraries have tons of information. Also, keep an eye on Ancestry, once in awhile they offer a weekend of free searching!
