SPECIAL NOTICE: The state of Missouri is in the process of putting all birth an death records on line
from 1910 (when they began) to 1954. This will be a really great asset for genealogists.

http://www.sos.mo.gov/archives/resources/deathcertificates/
There are links to images through 1920 (will eventually all be there)
and they will send you photocopies of the others for only $1.00 each!


If you are interested in helping, check out the site below and read item number 4.
The state is scanning the death records, but they need help with typing up the index to those records
so they can set up an online searchable index. Copies of pages of the index will be sent to volunteers to type up.
