Hello Everyone, I need to ask. I sent for my g-grandmothers death cert. and I tried the Barry county courthouse and also the state courthouse of MO. and the county court house only had a paper saying I had to contact the secretary of state to get the death cert., the county or state courthouses didn't have the information. When I wrote to the secretary of state to get it she said I had to send documents to show she was my g-grandmother. I had to send death or birth from me to her. Has anyone ever had to do this? My g-grandmother died in 1942 but I have never had to do this at any other time in any other state on any I have got those before or after 1942 and yes even in Barry Co.,. When I asked he why she said she didn't know why her death cert. was there or why that request was in the file. Can anyone help please. I did get the death cert. but I have wondered why I had to do this and if someone else ever had to do this. Also she kept the copies I sent for her file. Barbara eor@saber.net

I would say it's all because of the Privacy Act. Some states are more stringent about this. I needed to send for my daughters birth cert. and had to have my ID notarized to prove I was authorized to receive it.

In several states, including Missouri, certified copies require a certificate of kinship and also a reason for request.
