The index of death certificates from 1908 to 1959, Alabama Death Certificates, has been put on microfilm and is in the Ala. Dept. of Archives and History, online at Ancestry.com for members, and available at many LDS Family History Centers. If you can get the information about a death certificate from that index, you can also obtain a copy of the certificate from Suzette Cook at http://alabamadeath.tripod.com/. Her web site covers the information she needs to locate the copies at the LDS Center in Birmingham. Susette Cook, who runs the site, is a FHC volunteer and will provide copies (not certified ) for $3 each. I know of many who have used her service. Caroline Hamilton Horton
