Title: Death in Tripoli:
Post by: oorwill44 on Friday 07 June 13 21:45 BST (UK)

Trying to find a death that happened in Tripoli, Libya.

 All I have is William Alexander Ballantyne died in Tripoli in 1979 at age 63. How do I find the full date and any other information that might be available?

Any ideas appreciated,
Glen

Hi Groom,

I thank you for this information but I really want to know,

 How and Where do I get this information? 

There has to be a full date when and how he died etc but don't know who I contact or send to receive this information.
