The $25.00 research fee covers the search of TWO of the nine indexes listed below for ONE name. The request must specify the two indexes to be searched.
1909-12 || 1913-17 || 1918-22 || 1923-27 || 1928-32 || 1933-37 || 1938-44 || 1945-49 ||1950-53
In many cases there is more than one person who died during the time period with the same name. For example, if the request is for Mary Smith's death certificate between 1918 and 1927, there will be hundreds of certificates for that name. Our staff may be able to identify the correct death certificate if information about the deceased, such as her approximate age or her husband's name or her cause of death or where she died or her maiden name, are provided with the request. If no additional information is provided by the patron then we will provide copies of the indexes for the patron to review.
