I just found a delayed death certificate. I’ve not seen one of these before. The death occurred 01 Oct 1907. It was filed 23 June 1934. I’ve seen plenty of delayed birth certificates but not this. I guess the family needed a death certificate for some reason. What is really interesting is that this death certificate is VERY filled out. I guess since they had 27 years to think about the answers to the questions they knew the full names of both parents and their exact birth places ☺ Michele

One can only hope it is correct.....27 years later.   Ann L.

I've never seen one either! 27 yrs. later ... if I were researching this person, I'd want some back-up .. obituary, cemetery marker info, funeral home records, etc. What state? Filed with the state or the county? ~ Trevia Trevia Wooster Beverly Houston, Texas 713-864-6862 Harris County Historical Commission (1995-) - http://www.historicalcommission.hctx.net/ Clayton Library Friends (1987-) - http://www.claytonlibraryfriends.org/ Advisory Board, Baytown Historical Preservation Assoc. - http://www.baytownhistory.org/ Association of Professional Genealogists - http://www.apgen.org/ (Conference Coordinator) Angelina College Genealogy Conference - http://www.angelina.edu/genealogy/genealogy.html -----Original Message----- From: transitional-genealogists-forum-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:transitional-genealogists-forum-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of Michele Lewis Sent: Monday, October 01, 2012 2:44 PM To: TGF Mailing List Subject: [TGF] a delayed death certificate I just found a delayed death certificate.

Michele, You have found an unusual certificate. It would be interesting to know the whole story of why it was filed so late. What state did this take place in.
