In response to Ed Waller's inquiry about his Patton relatives: Have you checked with Alabama Vital Records for death certificates on Oakley Patton and Dexter Patton? If they died in Alabama in the forties, there should be death certificates. Vital Records is very quick and you can download a request form from their website at http://www.alapubhealth.org/vital/vitalrcd.htm I have obtained records from them and it is very quick--response within a week!
