I don't know why some deaths have Jan. 1, 1700 as the interment date. http://stlcathcem.com/ With a burial date or date of death, you can request a copy of the obit from the St. Louis Public Library at the following and you can also search the indices that are available: http://www.slpl.lib.mo.us/libsrc/obit.htm The library has other resources which may be of help. When making requests, send separate emails for like requests, such as all obits on one email, all death records on a separate email. http://www.slpl.lib.mo.us/libsrc/geneinfo.htm A good resource for St. Louis Genealogy is Dave Lossos' website. http://genealogyinstlouis.accessgenealogy.com/ St. Louis Catholic church records were microfilmed and are available through the Mormon Church's family history library as well as being at the St. Louis COUNTY library. http://www.slcl.lib.mo.us/slcl/sc/sc%2Dgennew.htm#srchmiss http://www.slcl.lib.mo.us/slcl/sc/sc-genpg.htm
