Houston: People

The population of Houston as of 2022 was 2,304,580people. But this is only official, if you count how many commuters Houston has, and add to them the tourists who are always in Houston, the real number of Houston's population is much higher.

Houston is recognized by the huge number of celebrities born here who have become famous not only in the United States, but around the world: Beyonce, Hilary Duff, Jennifer Garner, Travis Scott, Machine Gun Kelly and many others.

But Houston is not only famous for its celebrities. The state is also home to a huge number of people, each with their own story to tell. Finding out about the history of a public person is simple: just search the Internet and you'll find all the information you need. With non-public people, everything is a little more complicated: about them not so much information in the public domain, but it still is. For example, using search services, you can learn the history of the deceased person and find his obituary.

Obituaries: what they are and how to use them

An obituary is a kind of plaque of a person. Obituaries can be brief or more detailed. As a rule, brief obituaries contain information about the person: sex, name and surname, date of birth and death, place of birth and death, the person's age. In more expanded versions to the basic information is added information about where the person lived, what he did, what was his family and other information.

Such obituaries you can find on our site.

How do I search for an obituary?

Because Houston is home to so many people, it can take a long time to find someone who has died. It is possible to reduce this time if you build a proper search system right away.

The first thing you need to pay attention to and what can help you is a maximum of accurate data about the person. Naturally, the first and last name is the most important, but you may also need information such as place of residence, place of work and date of death.

Second, you can check available online databases of obituaries. Search engines can help you with this.

A more complicated way is to try to find a newspaper that may have published information about the deceased person. But it is desirable to know the city and even the area where the person lived, to narrow down the search.

There is a way that combines all three: you can go to one of the public libraries in Houston. Libraries are staffed by professionals who will advise you on how to conduct a proper search. Many libraries have information about people who died more than two centuries ago.

You can use the city filter on this site to find information about people who have died in that city. You can also filter by state, funeral home, name, and date of death.
