For Your Ancestors

  

 

READ INSTRUCTIONS BELOW!

Submissions not following these simple guidelines will be deleted!

Coordinator - Donna Cooper

1. Please do not post death certificate data for people who where not connected to Barry County. If they died in Barry County or were buried in Barry County then you can submit the death certificate information here.

2. Please post only what the certificate reads. Do not add your own information or what you think that the certificate should read.

3. The note area can be used to add other things that might be written on the document or the supplement to the document.

4. If you know the information given on the document is in error then add a note at the bottom that explains what is incorrect - but be sure and add all of the information the document has written on it. Use the boxes for all that information.

5. Babies and males don't have maiden names! Use this for females who are married. Example: Mary (Smith) Jones. In this case Smith is the maiden name.

6. Use standard English and standard abbreviations. Death Certificates will have the old version of the state abbreviations because of the time period that they were filed. Please use the modern day usage, because we are going to chart these on web pages. See examples below for more information.

7. I will not accept entries that I can not understand. Retyping information you submit creates a lot of unnecessary work. Be accurate and do not change the information that is written on the document.

8. The coordinator reserves the right to reject or edit any or all entries that you submit.

DO NOT ADD ANYTHING THAT IS NOT WRITTEN ON THE DOCUMENT. (Please be brief.)

DO NOT USE UPPER CASE WORDS FOR SURNAMES in the research note as text.

Example:

Not HADDOCK - use Haddock.

A note at the bottom can explain when facts seem to be incorrect. 

Example:

Note: Bob's stone reads that he was born in 1896 not 1886 as the death certificate reads. His age at death that is given on the death certificate would make the 1886 date the correct one.
