Does anyone know if high school records survived the Paris fire of 1916? I am looking for an Edith Burgess, who may have attended high school in Paris for her freshman year, 1915-1916. -Steve

> I believe that someone I am researching may have died in Paris, > 1913-1916, but I cannot find a death record in the state vital > records office. Have you tried writing the county clerk in Paris. If it was 1916, it might have been after the fire in Lamar county. In texas the county also is supposed to have copies in addition to the vital records office. Sometimes the vital records got the only copy and sometimes the local county got the only copy. What about a newspaper obituary? Good Luck! Jeri ______________________ Jeri J.

Thanks R.W. Woods

I understand that Texas began to require that vital records be kept on the local level in 1903, but did not require that all vital records also be filed at the state level until 1921. Does anyone have an idea of what percentage of death records filed with the city of Paris, were also filed with the state vital records office in that period, 1903-1921? Or to put it another way, what percentage of death records filed with the city of Paris were *not* filed with the state, 1903-1921? I believe that someone I am researching may have died in Paris, 1913-1916, but I cannot find a death record in the state vital records office. Lamar Co. cemetery indexes aren't a help because he was probably buried in Arkansas. Thank you for any help. Steve
