A great place to research on the internet is at Stevenmorse.org.
He has created a user-friendly, "one-stop" shop approach, with MANY sites to
check out, depending on what you are researching.
It's free. It's quick. It's easy, and it works!!!

Wayne, I went to the SSDI-search.com site and put in family name QUIRIN, no
given name and the state of Wisconsin but no Frederick or Fred J. Quirin
came up???? The Fred J. Quirin born and died in New York is not mine,
unfortunately. My Fred's birth date is confirmed on both of his WW
registrations as 1893. Again, what am I missing here? How did you access
the Wisconsin Death index...and so quickly. I'm impressed.
Hmmm???? Thanks for trying.
