The Washington State Death Index on Ancestry.com reports to cover Washington deaths from 1940 to 1996. However, the quarter million WA deaths for the years 1955 through 1964 are missing from their index. I also discovered surnames beginning with letters O, P and Q are missing from years 1965 through 1996. Just keep the above in mind when searching or advising someone else to search this index. The WA State Death Index is also available on 12 rolls of microfilm through LDS Family History Centers for the years 1907-1979. The film number for years 1955-1959 is 1308462 and 1960-1964 is 1308463. -- Mike Sweeney State Coordinator - WAGenWeb http://www.rootsweb.com/~wagenweb/ or http://www.usgenweb.org/WA
