I've been working on a memorial website for a friend that died in 1983; I am uncertain as to the state he was in when he died.
- On the Social Security Death Index, it gives a Vermont locality as "the last address". I have spoken to all the County Clerks offices in that area, have attempted to order the death certificate, but none was found after a very exhausting search.
- At the time he died he was a 1st Lt. in the Army and my friend's exact words to me were "he was in Washington" (meaning Washington, DC).
How do I figure out what state/city he was in when he died? I've tried every internet search I can think of and have not been able to locate any listings (i.e., death index) with his name on it; I've searched for him in Vermont, Washington,DC, Maryland, Virginia...
Any leads as to how to better approach this would be greatly appreciated.
What is the best approach to trying to determine this information?
