Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/3BC.2ACE/1784 Message Board Post: I would like to get death certificates for my great grandparents who died in Spokane ... but I cannot find dod anywhere. Is there someone in Spokane that could help me ? I know fairly little. Jennie Wilcox HAD to have died between 1955 and 1958 so that one is narrowed down at least a bit. John B Wilcox was alive and was 58 years old at the time of the 1920 federal census, and I know that he died before Jennie, but that is ALL I know. I realize that what I am asking won't be all that easy but I am more than willing to pay expenses, and share the information with others, and do a favor in return if I can ( though I am brand new to this ). If anyone can help or even point me in the right direction it will be much appreciated. Thanks !

Normally I would volunteer to do lookups when I come across a resource, but this one really does not appear to contain much that is linked to specific surnames, etc. Still, it probably would be a wonderful 'find' for someone with an interest in the local history. $5 plus S&H would be enough for me.

Also try http://wwww.usgenweb.com in the STATE ARCHIVE SEARCH ENGINE which I think you might already have tried. That will also come up with cemetaries that have been documented. Good luck.
