I am trying to verify the family of Wm S Tillison and Martha A Tillison. They were in Etowah County from 1870-1920. In 1870 Margaret Magee is living with them. I am trying to prove/disprove that Martha Tillison was a McGehee/Magee. If she were a McGehee, this would prove to be my family. After the 1920 census, I can no longer locate Martha Tillison and assume she has passed away. I felt I may be able to locate her death certificate in hopes that it would list her parents' names. In the 1920 time frame, would I write the county or the state? I appreciate any assistance and direction.

Linda, I found this in the Alabama Death Records - 1908 - 1959. Hope this helps. It should give the information needed to locate her Death Certificate. Jim Nix Birmingham, AL Name: Martha A.
