This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/ZMB.2ACI/1895 Message Board Post: http://www.sos.mo.gov/archives/resources/ordb.asp NOT to be confused with the Birth and Death records database, which is a scatterd few surviving records before 1909, but choose the Missouri Death Certificate Database The Missouri Death Certificate Database, containing death records created AFTER 1910 and over 50 years old, makes that information available online through a searchable index that links to a digitized image of the original death certificate. At this point, 1910-1920 images can viewed, 1920-1955 info is given on how to order. http://www.sos.mo.gov/archives/resources/deathcertificates/ I suggest using the advanced search feature. Searching for John Jones in this, will give you a hit on an informant, parent, etc instead of just the name of the deceased.
