Dear Luana, Birth and death records were recorded by the probate court from 1867 to Dec. 1908. They do not like to make copies from the big books, so you may get a computerized certificate. I believe they charge $1.00 per page which would be 2 pages for the book. I have never gotten a certificate, certified or non-certified, so I am not positive of the charge. Include SASE.
