Dear List: My kids noticed a lot of death cert requests on another list (we share an email address). So....they started pulling death certs a few weeks ago for the Hennepin County List I'm on. My kids pull them at the Minnesota Historical Society (http://people.mnhs.org/dci/Search.cfm) and I am taking care of the email interface, all copy costs, sending them out, etc. [I don't want them to get sent to the wrong people or wrong address.] By the way, the Historical Society will pull them for you but charges $8 each (they have to pay the employees). We are willing to do this for people on this list and usually go about every 8 weeks. It is a 35-45 min drive from our home and MHS parking charges are by the hour, so we are asking for $2.50/death cert. We do ask people to send payment and a SASE before we go and copy the certs. This will get the certs to people much more quickly since I will be able to mail them as soon as we get them. When I started this, I was worried that the database wasn't always accurate but it seems to be very reliable. If anyone on this list is interested: - Please send the name, county, date of death, and death cert ID # for each death cert from the MHS database. - Please put the words "Request for Minnesota Death Cert" in the subject line of your email. - Let me know if you are in Canada or another foreign country. - Please send the requests to us off-list so we don't clutter up the list. I will respond to each email so people are not left wondering, so please do not request it from me and someone else at the same time. Thank you.
