United States Social Security Death Index (FamilySearch.org)
This resource uses data from the Social Security Administration to provide information such as the social security number, birth and death dates, and place of death for more than 76 million individuals. The index includes death information from 1962 to the present (excluding the last three years) and may be searched by name, life events, or family relationships. It currently contains 50 percent of deceased persons from 1962 to 1971 and 85 percent of deceased persons from 1972 to 2005. Users must create a free account with FamilySearch.org to view search results.
Utah Cemetery Burials Database
This resource, maintained by the Utah Division of State History, allows users to conduct simultaneous searches for names on tombstones in dozens of Utah cemeteries, including several in Weber County. Information from the tombstones usually includes dates of birth and death, grave location, and known relatives. The database is updated monthly but the accuracy of the information included depends on the meticulousness of the volunteers who compile and submit the data from each cemetery.
