Post-1910 Death Certificates
In early April 2006, the Missouri State Archives
made an index to over two million death certificates from
1910-1955 available online. This database allows researchers
to search death certificates by name, county, or month and
year of death. In addition, images of each certificate are
made available. Currently, images from 1910-1941 and 1945-1956
are online, and additional images will be added as they are
scanned.
In the meantime, photocopies may be obtained of certificates
for which no image is available.
The Missouri Death Certificate Database
has proven widely popular. Since the database’s release,
researchers have conducted over 10 million online searches.
In addition,
the Archives has received requests to copy over 57,000 death
certificates. These numbers continue to grow.
When the Archives needed assistance meeting
this unprecedented demand, the Friends of the Missouri State
Archives provided an expedited service for patrons, receiving
over 4,600 additional copy requests. This expedited service
program will be discontinued as of October 15, 2007 as a
result of the Archives acquiring the resources needed to
meet the demand for copies on its own.
If you are interested in
obtaining a Missouri death certificate, please visit http://www.sos.mo.gov/archives/resources/deathcertificates/.
As you search the database, you will find instructions
on how to request copies from the
Missouri State Archives.
If, after reviewing these instructions, you still have
questions regarding death certificates or other
records available, please
contact the Archives Reference Staff at (573)
751-3280
or archref@sos.mo.gov.
Other Genealogical Research
Since the staff of the Missouri State Archives
cannot do extensive genealogical research by mail, the Friends
of the Missouri State Archives sponsors a list of researchers
to aid patrons who are unable to visit the Archives in person.
The following individuals have expressed a desire to research
in this area for a fee.
It should be clearly understood that this list
is provided as a service for patron convenience, and does
not constitute an endorsement of any of the researchers by
the Missouri State Archives or the Friends. No guarantee of
the quality of their work is made or implied. Arrangements
must be made directly with the researcher, and any agreement
entered into is a personal contract between two private parties
and does not include the Missouri State Archives or the Friends
of the Missouri State Archives.
If you have questions, please write or call
(573) 526-1981. It is requested that a #10 business size,
stamped, self-addressed envelope (SASE) be included with
the initial inquiry to any researchers.
