Barry, Chilton County kept death records in a book from 1908 until 1922. This book is in the Probate Judge's office, Chilton County Courthouse, Clanton, AL. I'm not sure that you can get zerox copies of death certificate information. I understand that they have them now on microfilm and an index to death certificates is available at the Birmingham Public Library. The only place other than Montgomery to get to look at the microfilm is at Wallace State Junior College which is located in Jasper, AL. The people in the probate office in Chilton County are very helpful so I would write to them first. I believe you can find the correct address and zip code on the Chilton County GENWEB page. Irma J.

Being from out of state, it appears my only other option is to request a certified copy for $22 which I really don't need; either a photocopy or simply the information is sufficient. Since I don't know if the record even exists, I am hesitant to send the money only to get a reply of, "sorry, we can't find the record"; that has happened too many times for me to count. I don't know how AL works, but I know in SC you can go to the state archives and look up the record yourself and print a photocopy. If anyone is willing to do this (I will gladly pay for the copying and shipping), the person I am looking for is: >Sarah Lafayette Chambers, died 2/01/1910 in Maplesville.
