LOL , Betty is in trouble again. Well now I get into hunting the death cert .But when you go to the library they tell me that after 50 years have to go to the state archives to get them. all this private stuff hurts the genealogy. But I work on trying to go thru the funeral homes and that is getting hard too. Some will give you a whole file copy of the files and some will say we don't have them anymore. Some will says we will find and mail to you then you wait about 3 months and still nothing. Instead of comming right out say We aren't handling them out anymore. So what do you do. drive to State Archives? Lol with the gas hum. and some prices so retared person like me can't afford. Bill will catch that watch and see.Now is that is why the charges are so high?. But we keep working tring to find our family history. I love doing mine but it's getting harder that is for sure.Go for it Betty I agree. :~( if you can't get to Nashville there are some folks who will do it for you for a couple of bucks. There used to be one such lady on this list. I think Betty ran her off for advertising her services. Betty doesn't believe in paying for genealogy info. :o) > Bill Mc

If Betty wasn't in trouble she wouldn't be Betty LOL To my understanding this fellow Phillip Gowan can obtain the certificates for you at quite a reasonable price. I have run into the same problem as you have with obtaining one. Mac's Great Grandmother must not of died as we can't find her death certificate in two counties ,nor where she was buried or who she was living with when she died , let alone which funeral home ? I know it is and was a common practice for relatives to dig the graves so perhaps a funeral home was not involved? ---- There just isn't a record for her. Now I know she was stubborn but hey she would be over 160 years old now. We have all kinds of rumors as to where and when and who she was living with but NO PROOF and she probably is buried in an unmarked grave. . Probably never will either. ----- Original Message ----- From: tn_nanny@bellsouth.net To: tnmarion@rootsweb.com Sent: Thursday, April 03, 2008 2:34 PM Subject: Re: [TNMARION] Death Cert in Marion Co Tn LOL , Betty is in trouble again.
