Joanne, Don't order from the archives. They don't have it and will still have to charge you, the search fee. Order from the county Audrey Neal, Register of Deeds 101 N. Goldsboro St. Wilson, NC 27893 Ph. 252-399-2935 Fax 252-399-2942 Sue Joanne Gaudio wrote: >Can anyone tell me how likely it is that, if a person's name is in the NC Death Collection, there will be a death certificate available? I have a relative who died in 1910, and the Archives order form says that death certificates are available from 1913-1955. Yet I know there were death certificates issued before 1913. The name in the Death Index has the date, the county number (Wilson Co.), and then a number - D008 515. Is that a death certificate number? I'm trying to decide if it's worth sending the Archives $20 and asking, or if they're sure to tell me it's too early. Any advice will be appreciated. (I'm not in the area and can't visit myself, and it isn't practical to try and rent a microfilm for one record.) > Joanne Pearce Gaudio > >------------------------------- >To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to NCWAKE-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message > > >
