I currently have about 350,000 mining accident records (fatal and nonfatal) covering most of the United States and some provinces in Canada and Australia. The mining accident records are from the late 1800s through the early 1900s. I have knowledge of all major mine disasters in the US. I can provide advice on finding U.S. mine fatalities from the late 1960s and later.
The best way to contact me is through the web site www.raogk.com “Random Acts of Genealogical Kindness”. I continue to collect mining accident records, and the latest dates I have available, types of records and areas are posted on the raogk website. On the website click “Guidelines for making requests, read the terms, click “Lets go find a volunteer”, select area of interest and look for Jerry.
I regularly check the 16 state mine board postings on http://boards.rootsweb.com/topics.occupations.mining/mb.ashx "Roots Web Mining Boards and Mining Categories - U.S.” . By searching, one may find a helpful historical query. Any posting more than two years old probably has a bad email address link.
