Dorothy Scahill - Death Records - Buffalo, New York - Washington State Digital Archives - Social Security Death Index - SSDI

The Washington State Digital Archives is the nation's first archives dedicated specifically to the preservation of electronic records from both State and Local agencies that have permanent legal, fiscal or historical value.

Located in Cheney, WA on the Eastern Washington University campus, the new facility was designed from the ground up to host this technically complex program. The web interface and database storehouse were custom designed specifically for the Digital Archives to hold the unique and very important electronic records found throughout the state, and to provide simple, straight forward access to researchers.

The Digital Archives includes a state of the art research room, complete with computer research stations, a high tech presentation classroom and a world-class data center.

This database contains the Social Security Death Index (SSDI) for individuals who have either died outside of Washington state or have died in a location that cannot be extracted directly from the given data.

The Social Security Administration (SSA) maintains a Death Master File, a record of approximately 70 million deaths that were reported to SSA. The SSA publicly releases the Social Security Number of deceased individuals to prevent identity theft. This allows banks and other businesses to deny the use of these inactive SSNs and prevents a living person from assuming the identity of a deceased person.

Dorothy Scahill - The Ryerson Index - Australian Death Notices

The Ryerson Index Online Database contains 1,471,294 notices from 133 different Australian newspapers. It also includes some funeral notices, probate notices and obituaries.

The Ryerson Index is an on-going index of death notices, obituary notices and genealogical queries published in the two Sydney daily newspapers, the Sydney Morning Herald and the Daily Telegraph.

Indexing commenced in October 1998. Back-indexing the Sydney Morning Herald for the years 1986-1998 is in process. The Kiama Independent is also included. Because the Index was originally created by the Sydney Dead Persons Society, it concentrates on notices from New South Wales papers, although some papers from other states are included also.
