Missing Death Certificates
The following people died between 1910 and 1958 and, if they died in Missouri, their death certificates should be in the database at the Missouri State Archives. Sometimes they are hard to find because of indexing errors, but usually it’s because of spelling variations or remarriage — and sometimes it’s just because I haven’t had a chance to really dig for them yet.
