All A few weeks ago a friend asked if I needed any early death certificates copies pulled as she would be at the Family History Center... so I looked at my "to do" list and then did a bit more "creative" searching in the Alabama Death Index hoping to turn up some "missing" folks... as I did this I found a death indexed as just "Jennie"... no last name, only "Jennie"... I asked my friend if she had time to pull Jennie's death certificate as well. I was hoping maybe for a semi-illegible last name... but no she is simply Jennie. I can only speculate why her last name was not recorded... anyway for posterity and the possibility that someone out there is missing "Jennie", what follows is the information listed on the death certificate: Alabama, Bibb County, cert#543 Certificate of Death (Form No. 2) Full Name of Deceased: Jennie Date of Death, year: 1909, month: August; day: (blank); hour: (blank); A.M.: (blank); P.M.
