I just saved $15.00 using the photoduplication service for the image of the death certificate for Sarah Beatty Winning.

"Alabama, Deaths, 1908-1974," Sarah Beatty Winning, 03 May 1921

The missing image!

I could have ordered a ordered a certified death certificate through "The Alabama Center for Health Statistics" which began filing death certificates in 1908 for persons who died in Alabama.

The fee to search for a death certificate is $15.00, which includes one certified copy of the death certificate or a "Certificate of Failure to Find." Fees are not refundable. Additional fees are required for expedited service.

This is one I was surprised to see in my email. This I consider a SUCCESS.

I did re-submit a request for a Michigan Death certificate from the "Michigan, Death Certificates, 1921-1952" at the same time. No images received.

In regards to the "Michigan, Death Certificates, 1921-1952", another blogger mentions the above. She indicated a success.

So what is up with this...
