Hello, What would be the easiest way to get a death record (certificate) for somebody who died in 1893-1894. This person died in Topeka and is also buried there.

Hello, Jim -- There are lots of people at rootsweb who are better qualified to answer your question, but it's fairly straightforward: death certificates are usually recorded by the county, so I looked at the Shawnee County site and found this URL: http://www.co.shawnee.ks.us/rd/docs.shtm I needed to change my email over to Rich Text Format (instead of Plain) in order to add the Internet link. If that causes you any problems in viewing or receiving this message, let me know. Or you can just copy the address line I've shown here and access the site that way, then search around for your person's name.

Jim: If memory serves, I think Shawnee county only started recording deaths around 1911 so getting a death certificate from a county source might be difficult since you're looking for something older than that. If you knew what church was attended, that might be a place to search. Sorry I couldn't be more help.
