I have just spent the afternoon going through the death certificates at the MO archives for some of my families. At first I didn't look at those whose names I didn't have in my database, but after finding some infants that I didn't know about whose info provided some answers, I have now gone back and tried all of those in the area. I have found many new leads, and am quite excited at this new info. I thought I would share that key with you. So, don't be afraid to try all of them, there are some real treasures out there to find in those certificates!! http://www.sos.mo.gov/archives/resources/deathcertificates/#search Good luck! Lanita
