Memory laners this is a great site if you are into genealogy and have Missouri people, It is free and both prints or downloads, many things can be found thru a death record and like all things must be verified. One might think the name they want is the only one but I can testify to the fact even odd names are frequently repeated. Bud. From: Archives Volunteer [mailto:archvol@sos.mo.gov] Sent: Monday, January 31, 2011 11:19 AM To: undisclosed-recipients: Subject: 1960 Death Certificates Hello All, As of 1PM Saturday, the 319 registered Missouri State Archives volunteers finished transcribing the nearly 49,000 Missouri death certificates filed in 1960. This means the project was completed in just over 3 days, blowing our old record of 3 weeks right out of the water!!! Thank you all so much for your hard work. The next few days will be spent going over those certificates flagged for admin review. Once this process is complete the images and transcriptions will be uploaded to the death certificate database. Look for them to be online sometime in the next 2-3 weeks. During the project we ran into a few issues that need to be addressed. These primarily concern volunteers' choice of operating system and web browser, but we found several corrections that need to be made to the dropdown menus as well. Know that all reported problems have been passed on to our IT division, so next time the process should run much smoother. Now that we've successfully completed our first project using the new web application, we plan to utilize it more and more. In the coming months we anticipate using it to index our World War I and World War II Missouri National Guard service cards, as well as re-indexing those death certificates filed in 1912. As we get closer to starting on these projects, I will be in touch with additional information. Again, many thanks for your hard work. The staff of the Missouri State Archives, as well as genealogists across the country, are extremely grateful. Regards, Brian Rogers Research Analyst Missouri State Archives 600 W.
