Hi everyone, I'm really new to all this Genealogy stuff, but its fun and I really want to know about my family. I was excited to find Arconway -- my Mom's side of the family is all from Adona Arkansas. Well, I sent for my Aunt's Death Certificate and they sent back a letter saying "You must submit a copy of the document that states proof of the event is required. Signed consent from executor of the estate. Well, I thought that all birth, marriage and death certificates were public record. I'm I wrong. Is it different in other states? I wanted the death certificate because her parents were my great grandparents. This would have such a big help. Any suggestions? Is there still a way for me to get a copy of the death certificate?
