RE: This leads me to a question for the list. Has anyone ever dealt with D.C. Vital Records in an attempt to get a death certificate based on the 10 year census span? I have discovered that my great grandfather is listed on the 1920 D.C. census but on the 1930 D.C. census his wife is listed as a widow. I honestly am not sure how to discover when in that 10 year span he died other than paying the Vital Records department to search for it - I'm not even sure if they offer such a service or what the cost would be. All the other death certificates that I have requested I have at least had an approximate year and paid $12.00 for the copy. I do know that the D.C. library will not search the newspaper microfilms for an obituary without a specific date of death - and I have no idea which cemetery in which he would have been buried. Any suggestions??? Susan, You might try Latter Day Saints. They can order DC death record films for specific timeframes. It is time consuming and can be costly. Good luck. Dottie Florida
