Seeking information and descendants of Jack R. FRASER who was born June 1, 1906 WA to Clifford M. Fraser and Zella RAY. Jack married Pauline Ruty LEACH after 1930 in WA.
His family was in the 1930 Yakima, WA census.
Pauline died in Seattle 1996 and Jack died June 1998 in WA.

I would like to connect with any children of Jack and Pauline or to locate any information regarding this couple.

Thank you for your assistance,

You can request copies of their obituaries from the Washington State Library, www.secstate.wa.gov/library/ask.aspx . They will search the newspaper microfilm for 60 minutes at no charge & reply with what they find.

After I receive a copy of the obit, I use www.whitepages.com or www.zabasearch.com to find current contact info for survivor's in the obit. Successful Searching!

An image of their 1933 wedding certificate is available online, through:

The King County Recorder: http://www.metrokc.gov/recelec/records/
has an "Agreement providing for disposition of community property after death of one of the parties", signed by Jack Rae Fraser and Pauline R. Fraser, husband and wife, residing and domiciled at Seattle. Document signed on 5 July 1990, and was filed on 8/6/1996, after her death.

The County Recorder also has a Death Certificate filed the same date for Pauline. It was not scanned, but probably available through the County Recorder.

There were no recorded documents for land purchase, deeds, etc. Also, based on the signed agreement, they may not have had Wills, so a probate record might be located. For King County, the Superior Court handles:

--I also would venture a "GUESS", based on my experience, but only MY guess, they had no children, OR, the agreement was just meant to prevent probate on the death of one party. This does NOT mean they did not HAVE property, only that any property records may have been pre-online records database.

Your next step would be request a possible obit on either. He "may" have paid to have one published; but, if he had no heirs/children, there might not be one for him. email/call:
The Washington State Library has a free research service, the ask-a-librarian program, where they will look for information in the archives, in this case the newspaper microfilm for an event, such as an obituary. They will look up to an hour and send you the results. Contact them at: http://www.secstate.wa.gov/library/ask.aspx .
