I ordered 5 and thought I received mine in a timely manner, seemed like no more than 4 weeks, 3 were correct, two were wrong people, sometimes have to guess with a surname like White. It was a very reasonable price, too, at $1 apiece. It seems some are missing from the index or never got entered in the first place, or died somewhere else, but overall, they have done a remarkable job getting that info online. Some states will not even allow you to have a death certificate unless you are a close relative. I am researching three siblings and their descendants, Benjamin F. White, Alvin W. White, Anna May White Stalker as follows, can't find anything on Thomas N. and Anna May White Stalker after 1900 in KC, MO; wrote the library, they don't index deaths I was told. All resided in Kansas City, St. Joseph County, Missouri after about 1895. Any advice on tracking down the rest of the descendants and filling in missing info would be appreciated. I have had to pay for research before and may have to on some of these as I can't get to Kansas City to do my own research. FIRST GENERATION 1.
