Dear Gail, Hello, there were death certificates recorded before 1912 in the State of Tennessee and in Grainger County. All counties, but the 4 largest counties, started keeping some death records in 1908. The officials at the time didn't the best job of it, but there are thousands of death certificates from 1908-1912 indexed and the actual death certificates are available. The 4 largest counties in Tennessee are Davidson, Hamilton, Knox and Shelby Counties. Here are the dates that these counties have death records: Hamilton from 1872 Knox from 1881 Nashville from 1874 Shelby from 1848 I have been doing research in the death records of Tennessee for years and it is sad that a lot of people did not receive a record due to various reasons, but they probably didn't even think of us genealogy researchers digging around looking for them!!!
