If you can find a person in the death index on-line, there is an inexpensive way to get an uncertified copy of a death cert. http://www.kygenweb.net/vitals/index.html Click on the link above and scroll down past the search forms for vital records. You will come to a short list of people who will copy death certs. from 1911 to 1951 or so for only $1.50 plus a self-addressed stamped envelope. I have personally used the first 2 names mentioned (it was several yrs. ago) and can vouch for their honesty and speed. [email protected]
