[or-roots] Need ideas on where to locate death certificate

[Trisha Neal]

Linda, 
 
I contacted the mortuary in Crescent City. He indicated that the records
from the mortuaries that were in Crescent City at that time were not
available/accessible.  He looked in his records even though they started in
the late 1940s and in the book mentioned earlier.  Nothing for Arcanie.  
 
I'm going to check a little further to see who may have been in business at
that time both in Crescent City and Brookings.  I have had great luck with
the women I have been researching in that the mortuaries operating at that
time have been merged with the new owners or the new owners took over the
records and still have them.  I have been very lucky. :-)  I hope I am going
to be that lucky with Arcanie. :-)
 
Trish

Sad that the
mortuaries that were open at that time have closed and there's no way to
access their records.

Trish,
Have you checked with the mortuaries that are now in existence. Many times
the
old records go with the sale of the business. And, sometimes you just have
to 
ask the right questions.
