Forty-nine thousand 1962 Missouri death certificates are now posted online.
Missouri death certificates can’t be posted for 50 years – so the annual January posting is always looked forward to by genealogists doing Missouri family research.
The first searchable index to the Missouri death records was posted in April of 2006. There are now 2.36 million death certificates posted from the year 1910 through 1962.
I have Irvine family from Missouri, and in searching for Irvines, I found two – including the death certificate for my cousin’s wife, Mary Lucinda Norris-Irvine, who died May 29, 1962 at the age of 94. She was the wife of Wallace Irvine. I’m descended from his father.
