Looking for information on John Grover Lewis, not sure of birth date, died between 1964 and 1967, married first to Dora Alice Mosely. Not sure of dates. Their son, my grandfather, Aubrey C. Lewis, was born in Batesville in 1918. Other children were Estelle, Elvie, Norma Jean, Juanita, J.W., and several others, whose names I don't know. John Grover's second wife was Nancy (don't know maiden name) Any information on this family would be greatly appreciated. My grandfather passed away in 1989, and no one in the family seems to know much about the Lewis relatives and ancestors. Thanks, Georgiana

Georgiana, Your dates are fairly recent. Odds are very high that Arkansas (Department of Health, Vital Statistics) will have both birth and death certificates for all of those mentioned. AR centralized all state records as of Feb 1, 1914. You have to go to the country involved for anything prior to that. Death certificates include date and place of birth, parent's names, mother's maiden name, occupation, place of burial and other data. Birth certificates are not always available. Sometimes, there was no one available to fill out the form when a baby was born at home and there was no medical doctor involved. Death certificates are almost 100%. The information, of course, is not always accurate. It is based on the memory of the family member providing the information to the official that filled out the form. Cost is currently $4 for a duplicate death certificate and $5 for a birth certificate. Little Rock has a pretty good web site where you can download the forms required to order copies. Takes 2 to 4 weeks, especially when you are unsure of dates. Good luck. E. T.
