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.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
That could take 3-6 months. [link]
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.

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."

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Our city and state require a public death announcement in the classified section of the newspaper, to give creditors the chance to present their claims before any estate is awarded to the heirs. I'd say the announcement is within a week to ten days of issuance of the death certificate (in cases where the body wasn't found for some time after death, and wasn't certified by authorities until its discovery). So, newspaper files for classifieds--if this is standard practice elsewhere--might yield results newspaper obits have not.

I checked the state of Wisconsin newspaper legal notices and there was no notice.
Kristin, they get their information from databases that may be as much as 6 months old. I wouldn't spend the money.
