Brenda, If you don't find your death record in the places Brian suggests, you might also check Jackson County for probate records. I found information about one of my great-grandfathers using that method when no death certificate was located in Jacksonville or at the county health department. There was a will and various attached documents, so I was able to validate the death date I had from family records. Lots of interesting papers! Kathleen kmarsh@innet.com
