I went to the library yesterday and looked in the AR Death Indexes for my great grandfather, John Robert Neel. I knew he had died after 23 Oct 1938 and before 6 April 1940 in Chicot Co. I'd previously sent three money orders to AR Vital Records, providing them with the above info, and also told them that he may have spelled his name Neal instead of Neel. Each time they responded that they had no record of his death........found him as J R Neal, Chicot Co, d 16 Oct 1939. So for any of you who might rely on AR Vital Records for help in locating a definite death date and certificate, just remember that if they don't get the exact spelling of a name, you may not get good results from them. amy
