Search or browse the archives. *Web page for Bibb at http://www.rootsweb.com/~albibb/ *Al Gen Web at www.algenweb.us *Alabama Pioneers at http://alabamapioneers.com/ *Family Search.org. A new resource is available on the Family Search Record pilot site: Alabama Statewide Deaths 1908-1974. There are no images, but the index provides more information than the index on Ancestry. This links directly to Ala deaths: http://pilot.familysearch.org/recordsearch/start.html#p=collectionDetails;t=searchable;c=1307888 *Alabama death certificates (not certified). The index of death certificates from 1908 to 1959 has been put on microfilm and is in the Alabama Archives, online at Ancestry.com for members, and available at many LDS Family History Centers ( see above for familysearch.org. - note the extended dates) If your nearest FHC doesn't have the microfilm it can be ordered. If the certificate you want is in that time period and listed on the index a copy can be obtained for the cost charged at the facility that provides the film. Also, if you can get the information about a death certificate from that index you can obtain a copy of the certificate at http://alabamadeath.tripod.com/. Susette Cook, who runs the site, is a FHC volunteer and will provide copies (not certified ) for $3 each. *Alabama Dept. of Archives and History at http://www.archives.state.al.us/. You can do a search to see which newspapers and records for Bibb County are available. There is a fee for research but it is money well spent if you live out of traveling distance.
