How do I find a record of a death in the Bahamas?  Aslo once I have
the date of death is it possible to find out if a will for that person
was ever recorded?

yodama-ga,

I would suggest getting in touch with a Bahamas-based law firm such as:


http://www.bahamaslaw.com/


who should be able to provide a quick answer to your questions
(hopefully at no charge) and can then help you (for a charge) obtain
the information you're after.

Let me know if that works out.

yodama-ga,

Do you have all the information you need, or is there anything else
you would like from one of the GA researchers by way of answering your
question?

Let us know.

I wrote the Registrar and got the following response:

--------------------------------
Wellington A. Smith
Registrar General's Department
P. O. Box N-532
Nassau, Bahamas
(242) 322-3316

 
To obtain a death certificate, please submit to us the following:
 
1. Name of Individaul
2. Date of Death
3. Place of Death
4. $10.00 in US money or Postal order
5. Your return address
 
You can call our office at (242) 322-3316 the Deeds & Documents
Section and inquire about a will in the individual's name.  If there
is one, they will let you know of the cost to receive a copy.
