How to find where toddler is buried?
Back in the early 1900s, my g-g-grandparents moved from NE to Coquille OR for just a few years. While they were there, my gggma had twin girls. One died at 18 months old. Then they moved back to NE shortly thereafter.
Her twin is just turning 90 years old and isn't doing so well. She's asking to see a photo of her twin's grave. I've been through Ancestry.com and googled what I know and haven't been able to come up with any leads.
Do you have any suggestions on how I would go about finding where she is buried? My experience is pretty limited and I'd love to post a photo request on FAG, but just don't have enough info yet.

I checked census records on Heritage Quest in 1920. I didn't find them, but the twins should have shown up if they were enumerated. Maybe they were moving or missed on the census or they may not have been indexed yet. Don't know! Next I would get her death certificate from state of Oregon. It should tell which cemetery and funeral home was used------ Good Luck! Christy
