And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Ah, okay -- it wasn't letting me search without something in the first name field for some reason.

[Now I see, it was defaulting to "background check" even though I was in the "people search" tab. Weird.]

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Jessica, here's the list we're getting.

That link comes up with an empty search form.

eta: OK, I did a search and found the Guy Straley in Cameron.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

I'm planning on calling them and asking if a Guy Straley of Cameron, WI has passed away in the last month. If they can't tell me, I think I will request a death certificate.

That could take 3-6 months. [link]

Here's the thing. I could get more info after this initial step--date of birth and public records included. However, it's $49.95. $8 was one thing, but $49.95...I'm tempted to do it just to get the answers and let everyone either let go or mourn in peace, but I'm torn.

Heh. I was just at the same site. You can get a expedited search (by fax) in about seven days, or an in-person request in an hour or so....

Huh. I suppose I could ask my sister to do it in person....

Would that include death? Esp. a recent death?

I don't know. I've never done this before.

I don't know.

Oh, I was thinking maybe they'd say in their ad.

Basically anything that is available in public record. No idea how quickly a recent death would make it into public record, though.

ETA: I'm going to wait for feedback before making a decision I may regret.

OK, the Barron county office makes no mention on how long it'd take. Possibly my sis or her gf could go to the state office in person. Otherwise I'm tempted to spring for an expedited fax request, which would take "within seven business days."
