I hesitate to say this, but I do have reasonable access to the Washington state index and the certificates up to about 1950. I will do look ups if you send name, date, and location (county or city) or as much as you have. If you only have a name it takes a lot longer than a name and date. I go to the location about twice a month and will go again this Monday, Aug 24. So get info to me by Sunday 4:00pm and I will do what I can. After that I will announce any other visit I plan to make. If you send me info inbetween, you MUST be patient as my schedule changes quickly. You may send periodic reminders, just don't hold your breath. I do what I can. Please DO NOT make any major announcements beyond this list. I do have another life and try to do other genealogy also. P.S. The library where I do my research charges $.25 per photocopy, so keep this in mind if you ask for cert. copies. Otherwise, I transcribe the information. P.P.S. The indexes start in 1907 and are filmed more or less by decade. The more recent years are on microfische, I think. I haven't used these, but will if requested. I will not photocopy the index pages because most of the copies are bad to awful. So do not request all listing of a surname except under very dire situations discussed with me. Sorry that Washington state does not have these online yet, but there is work being done in that direction for sometime in the future. Mostly after we get the 1910 Census done. Keep in mind that obits are another story. I have limited access to some of the state newspapers, but no index, so must have place and time and name. Also keep in mind that not everyone has an obit for several reasons. For more recent years, meaning 2-4 years, I have had good luck using the Seattle Times index online. Some day soon, I'll put the links on the WaGenWeb page. I have also done searches on DIALOG that has indexes for 4 major in-state newspapers: Seattle, Tacoma, Spokane, I can't remember the 4th, but it may just be the 2 papers in Seattle. I recently searched for a lady, who had not lived in Washington all of her life; could not find her obit in the Seattle Times, but the DIALOG search brought her up in a list of people who had outstanding checks from the State. If you are patient and tolerent, I will do what I can for a pretty please and thank you. Later, Celia Tomlin Washington-L listowner
