OVERVIEW
| Creator: | Minnesota. Department of Health. | |
| Title: | Delayed Death Certificates. | |
| Dates: | 1887-1954 (bulk 1908-1915). | |
| Language: | Materials in English. | |
| Abstract: | Death certificates and, occasionally, other documents containing information on deaths and stillbirths that occurred in Minnesota during the years 1887-1954 (bulk 1908-1915). They were filed with the Health Department after the official death certificates for the year of death had been arranged, assigned consecutive certificate numbers, and closed to additions. | |
| Quantity: | 1 microfilm reel; 0.4 cubic feet (1 partial box). | |
| Location: | See Detailed Description for shelf locations. |
SCOPE AND CONTENTS
Each certificate includes some or all of the following information: date and place of death; deceased person's name, sex, color or race, marital status, date and place of birth, age, occupation, usual place of residence, length of residence in the United States if foreign born, country of citizenship, social security number, and military service status; spouse's name and number of children; parents' names and birthplaces; cause(s) of death; date and place of burial, cremation, or removal; and date the certificate was filed. Many of the certificates are for Native Americans.
For the most part, these deaths are not documented in the separately cataloged Health Department's death certificates series. There are some, however, especially those for the years following 1915, which were also filed with those certificates.
