Linda, thank you very much for your information. I will try and go from there. With this information, I hope to begin some further research. It is certainly a starting point. I appreciate your help very much. I am very new at genealogy and I'm sure I could use some helpful hints from anyone willing to give them. I have been to Roanoke Room and really could come up with nothing. Since you live here is Roanoke, would you happen to know if Oakey's Funeral Home would have death certificates from 1922? Best regards, Sue, Roanoke, VA
