They're available on microfiche that can be ordered at any Family History Center of the L.D.S. Church. They make copies at the main Library in Salt Lake City, UT and send them to the FHC where they remain permanently. Cost is about 15 cents a fiche. Maybe a FHC near you has them already. Or, maybe you're near a large library that has them. You can send for films of the origional records if you find your people in the indexes. The Area Research Center at River Falls in Pierce County can help you too. They have the same records. Their address is: Davee Library, University of Wisconsin - River Falls, 410 S. 3rd St., River Falls, WI 54022. You have a complete death date so they could check their River Falls newspapers for an obituary. They recently checked it for me. You can just send them $2 to $3 for a copy of an obituary, a census record, birth, marriage or death record. They've been a big help to me and are quick to respond. You might want to check Burkharts too. I have Burkharts whose names were mispelled Burket, and many other different ways similar to your Birkett. I hope this helps.
