Missouri Does It!

Missouri has completed its death certificate project. Images are now available for the years 1910 through 1957. This is a remarkable accomplishment achieved by state employees and volunteers. Additionally, the entire Secretary of State's site, including the Missouri Archives, has been re-designed. Go to the Missouri Archives site here.

Kudos

Once again, in our Credit-where-Credit-is-Due Department:

1. Congratulations to Missouri, whose State Archives has now added images for the year 1935 to its Death Records project. This project is rapidly closing its gaps!

2. Thanks to the Local History Department of the Corpus Christi Public Libraries, which outdid its usual great service by responding to my request for a scanned copy of an obituary in an incredible twelve hours! I don't imagine they can do that all the time, but I appreciated this week.

3. And since I'm up and about to an extent I really didn't expect this soon, kudos to my doctors and the hospital staff for a job well done!

Missouri Death Certificate Project Now Includes 1934

Just 1935 through 1944 remain to be added. Check it out at http://www.sos.mo.gov/archives/resources/deathcertificates/

Thanks Again, Missouri

I really believe in giving credit where credit is due.

On May 20, 2007, I wrote to the Missouri State Archives to request copies of the original log of death certificates concerning Eliza Jane Long (died 1885) and Pauline Long (died 1886).

My requests were received on May 24, 2007. On June 4, 2007, I received a notice from the Archives that acknowledged receipt of my requests and stated that processing could take up to eight weeks.

On June 7, 2007, I received the requested materials.

Thanks, Missouri! You consistently come through.
