Shirley, It has taken as long as 12 wks to get death cert from Austin. My experience in Limestone Co is that I found grandfather's & siblings listed as "baby boy or girl" Richardson in the indexes. I did find some death records indexed and they did let me go to the books to look at before making copies. You really did have a long trip if from Corpus Christi. I used to live in CC and now live in Magnolia TX. Not quite so far to Limestone Co. :>). Deborah Magnolia TX
