You can call your local county/city library and ask to speak with records (may be called something else, it varies from city to city. \n\nThere you can speak to customer service and ask them questions regarding deceased/still living. \n\nSomething similar happened to me. I didn't have the social security, all I had was a name. So long as you have a name and maybe where the person lives (lived), the county and so forth, they (the records person) should give you some assistance to at least say if she is still around.

Start searching on the net.  You can begin by going to www.ask.com and put in your father's name.\nFrom there, you may be redirected to one or more, sites.\n\nJust be patient and continue searching from there.  It may take some time, but you would be surprised what you could find if you dig deep.

Do a search for the county newspaper or the city if you know where he lived.  Which state is this county in?  If the newspaper is online you could probably find the obit from there.  If there is a big city close by you might want to check out their newspaper as well. You could also contact the funeral home and ask for a copy.

That information should be public record, check with the county recorders office or see if your area has a weekly publication like "legal news".  It would provide you with births, deaths, real estate sales, etc... Good luck!

Send a written complaint to the state insurance commissioner where your mother resided when she purchased the policy.  Make sure it's signed by all beneficiaries.  This process is free and faster than taking an insurer to court.\n\nThe only good news is this:  if the insurer has withheld a portion of the proceeds, you'll be paid interest from the date of death.  Don't take "no" for an answer when it comes to interest on these proceeds.  This should have been worked out at the time the claim was first filed.\n\nI hope this helps.

Well to find old information on insurance companies you would have to check the archives that are within that company or you can check with the city the company was or is located in and seek archive information through the city if the company no longer exists.

Contact the social security administration. I know here, in Wisconsin, the social security number is on the death certificate.

Go to unclaimed money.com enter a name search.  Why not just try to start surviving relatives, one of them may have certain documents photo's and and certificates you can use for a search.. You can also check the office of vital statistic where he was born or fathered children under his name.  You have many search engines that do not charge fees for the kinds of investigations.  Try as many as you can.  Good luck.

If he was American, you can search the Social Security Death Index (link below).  Type in what you know of his name and social security number.  A list will show up of everyone with a U.S. Social Security Number matching that name that has died.  If you know his date of birth, you can scan the list to find him and it will show you the zip code, city, and county of his last residence.  That could be a good start.

You may have some luck contacting the state health agency where your grandparents died; since you're directly related, you have access to those records. Do a search on the vital records department of whatever state and you should be able to get contact information.\n\nUnless they died over 50 years ago, the records aren't in the public domain, so you won't have much luck on sites like genealogy.com or ancestry.com.

Search for his name on the web. Go to the places he resided when he was alive and check out the local libraries, see if they have any historical records or perhapse newspapers (or one of those things... I can't remember what they are... but we have them at my library.) If all else fails, see if you can't talk to your parents about him. Check out the web and search for his name or the places he lived. \n\nYou can also do an information search with a private detective in your area, with very little information. These detectives can cost anywher from fifty dollars to fifty hundered dollars, so make sure to sign a contract regarding payment.
